    Thanks Diane from Seadream. This is a great cause.
    We appologize to others that may have donated, but the money meter has not registered a few hundred dollars yet that may have been sent by check.

    5.00 is all it takes to make a difference. Hell 10.00 or more would really make a difference.
    Five Dollar Fridays... Make the HBers look good!!!!!

    I just want to let you guys know how much your support means to us and how much we appreciate all of you jumping up to the plate for this cause--especially for someone you don't know (Uncle Frank).
    We wrote Leanna, his wife, to send all of your thoughts, let them know that we are doing the Memory Walk, and the support we've received from the good people of ***boat.
    This was her response:
    I am so happy to hear what you and Johnny are doing!!! We have just one support group here in the valley and they only meet the first fri. for one hour each month. Only two homes will take in this type of illness and have just a few rooms to offer.
    The caregivers I have love Frank and are kind to him How ever this is a
    cost in a higher scale for care and I am looking for ways to get help so
    I can keep him home. Please give my proud thanks to all the people that
    are donating.
    Just a small fun note, Frank took his new guy to Church with him on
    sunday and told everyone that he was a good guy!! In his way this was
    telling us that he loves him.
    Thank you again for the e-mails they do help me.
    Frank's "new guy" is the Starbucks bear we gave him during his visit.

    He cried when we gave him that bear and said, that no one has ever given him a doll before. (The stuffed panda was one that was left behind by their granddaughter). Uncle Frank kept pointing to me and saying to others, "He's a good guy!" and then "I love you".
    Before that he was carrying a small stuffed panda bear around.

    I get teary eye when I think about him. He still has a heart and feelings -- he just can not express his emotions in words like we can. But tears and hugs say the same thing.
    THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR GENEROSITY AND SUPPORT!! You've helped put Team Costanza in 2nd top fundraiser (http://memorywalk2007.kintera.org/fa...B1A1D3&login=t) for this event!!!

    Thank you for your generosity and support, James.
    Every 72 seconds...(I'm counting but I only have ten fingers and toes)...someone is diagnosed with the disease.
    Alzheimer's doesn't sound like a scary disease, does it? All I knew was that those affected lose their memory, forget things, and wander off. I had never seen the devastating effect first hand until Uncle Frank. Seeing someone who was once a lively, productive person slowly waste away and dying before our eyes. And there's nothing we can do to stop it. What a horrible disease.

    Day 3: We're still reeling from the overwhelming support we've received since launching our campaign to smash out Alzheimer's (http://memorywalk2007.kintera.org/lasvegas/unclefrank).
    Thank you to our kind and generous donors. We can not stress enough how much we truly appreciate your gift to the AlzheimerÂ’s Association Desert Southwest Chapter (http://memorywalk2007.kintera.org/fa...1642CA65C9F5EC). This chapter is "the first and largest health and social service organization dedicated to providing
    support for families affected by dementia, finding prevention methods, treatments and an eventual cure for AlzheimerÂ’s disease" and has been operating for over 20 years.
    Not one penny goes to us. Not one penny goes to pay for our transportation, airfare, hotel, dinner, drinks, and/or special trips to some far away land just to participate in the Memory Walk. (http://memorywalk2007.kintera.org/lasvegas/unclefrank) Every cent goes to the local chapter to support those families in need and the research to wipe out this disease like mullets going out of style!
    Like the All-American Reject song, Move Along (http://www.hellodaly.com/music/move_along.mp3), we are moving along! WHOO-HOO!!!
    When all you got to keep is strong
    Move along, move along like I know you do
    And even when your hope is gone
    Move along, move along just to make it through
    We are now the #1 fundraiser for this event and it is all because of you!
