AUSTIN FOR ALZHEIMER'S

Alzheimer's Disease impacts almost 6 million Americans. By 2050, the number of people with Alzheimer's is estimated to rise to 14 million. Caregivers spend almost 19 billion hours yearly caring for their loved ones and patients.*

2/3 OF PEOPLE WITH ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AND 2/3 OF CAREGIVERS ARE WOMEN.

These facts make us stop in our tracks. Suddenly, these facts start turning into stories; our stories. This disease touches us all in some way - whether through family, friends, neighbors, our even ourselves.

Sometimes when the Lord brings something across your path, the very best thing you can do is say yes. Our best yes today is for these women.

It is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose. -Philippians 2:13

This verse from Philippians was the daily verse on my Bob Goff "Love Does" calendar the day we decided to help these women. It was the day we discovered November is Alzheimer's Awareness month - a designation President Ronald Regan made in 1983. November is also National Family Caregiver's Month. All of these things became a big nudge for us to say yes to an opportunity to support women impacted by this disease.
