Dear Friends and Family,

The 2013 Fresno Walk to End Alzheimer’s is quickly approaching and we hope that you will assist us in reaching our team goal.

Last year the Fresno Walk to End Alzheimer’s raised a whopping $86,000 and had more than 800 people participate! This year the Fresno Walk to End Alzheimer’s is taking place at Copper River Ranch Park and The Eaton Trail on Saturday, September 28. The goal is to raise $100,000 for Alzheimer’s programs, services, and research.

This walk is personal. Our team, DemKitty’s, is walking in honor of Grampa Kei Kitahara and has set a team goal of $3000. We are excited about our objective and we hope you will join in our efforts to help us reach it.

Today, Alzheimer’s disease is the 6^th leading cause of death in the United States and affects over 25,000 Fresno area residents. The Alzheimer’s Association is the nation’s leader in funding innovative research for a cure. Proceeds also provide services in the form of support groups, a toll-free 24 hour telephone helpline, and information and education programs.

Together, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of Alzheimer’s patients and their families. Contributions can be mailed to the address below or made online at Alz.org. Select “Donate” and search for either team DemKitty or participant Krystal Kitahara.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 559.304.9206 or at kkitahara48@gmail.com.

Much love,

Krystal Kitahara
