HEY EVERY BODY - HELP ME - THANKS

Today an estimated 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's. In addition, 78 million baby boomers are approaching the age of greatest risk for developing this fatal disease. Now is the time to ACT to end this epidemic!

This year, to support those affected by Alzheimer's, I'm participating in the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk® to raise funds and awareness to fight this disease.

The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research, and funds I raise will go directly toward supporting their efforts.

I know I can make a difference with your support! Will you consider making a donation? It's easy to give online by following the link below.

Thank you in advance for your time and generosity - together, we can help end Alzheimer's!

You will be warmly touched and heavenly inspired:

What happens when our parents dementia turns into Alzheimer's? Some of us listen to what the doctors say and put them in the hands of professionals in a care center for the elderly. Some of us take on the challenge of caring directly for our parents, just as they once took care of us. The care taker inevitably feels lost and alone,

Alzheimer's A Caretakers Journey is a story of tough love. When it was discovered that my father-in-law was not him self, and his mental health was deteriorating we took on the task to take care of him. It was hard to deal with the man he had become. We had to remember that he was now a victim of the disease--that this person was not longer himself anymore. It was a greater challenge than we could have imagined, caring for him to his dying day, but it was also rewarding.

I wanted to write and share this journal in the hope that it might help others who are taking care of, or are considering, caring for their aging parents. I wrote it in a chronological diary format to give a true picture of what it is like to watch a loved one's mental and physical demise. I want them to know that they are not alone. Don't feel that you have failed when you are aggravated, depressed, or angry. These emotions only show that you are human.

If you are a caregiver or plan to be one, do your self a favor and buy this book as a gift. If you know a caregiver who could use a helping hand give this book as a gift. If you are a professional, share copies of this book with your clients. You will be warmly touched and heavenly inspired. Buy this book on the 15 of September, and get nine free bonus gifts. http://mariefostino.com/specialoffer
