Running with the Alz Stars Chicago Marathon Sunday Oct 9 - Charity
I've been training for 18 weeks. Now its time to run the Chicago Marathon with the Alz-Starz to raise money for Alzheimer research. I have a hard family history of early onset Alzheimer that runs in my family. My mom passed of it in 2008, her sister (my aunt) died from early onset in 2007. My uncle died of it in 2003. My cousin now has it and was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer in 2009 at the age of 49. Early 50's is typilically when it hits in my family. I have a 50% of getting it in the next 10 years and my sister has the same odds. I am asking if you would donate to this cause to help find a cure. No amount is too small. We are suppose to raise at least $1000. I think I have about $400 with the cash donations and we have until November 1 to raise the money. I understand hard economic times and if you can not donate I understand. A "good luck to you" is sometimes just as helpful. The link for donation is >> http://alzstars.kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?ievent=451998&supid=303371352 Thank You Everyone, Paul Mooch4056 PS.... If you missed it here is a tongue in cheek video of my running a half marathon last August 28, 2011- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PfUDMC1fZU&feature=channel_video_title

Who cares? We do, don't overdo it. Else you'll end up like me before your time.

Go, Mooch! This is a very good cause. Early Onset Alz. is a frightening thing. I'll be praying for you and your sister. We're with you, dude. Have a good run (and don't push too hard...) I'll be in my recliner.

Less than 24 hours away and I will have completed the 26.2 - and I can't help but hear Apollo Creed yelling at Rocky slacking off on his work out ... "There is no tomorrow" ... I wish I had a tomorrow ... no wait ... another week... no wait ...another year to get ready ...... yeah... that would be good ... one more year and I'll be ready!!

I am not kidding. We need to fight against alzhimers. Not ONLY because it runs in my family, but because we cant have alzhimers patients forget about bapu. Bapu is tired of being left out and forgotten about with just about everyone. Please give....No amount is too small -- and if you can't for financial reason and the bad world economy - at least give Bapu your support with words.
