Hello Family and Friends,
As you know, it's about that time of year again when The Dizon Family and friends join together in the fight against Alzheimer's in honor of our beloved Mama, Agripina Dizon. On Sunday, November 7, 2010 we will be sportin' our t-shirts and walking in her memory along the streets of Century City (Century Park, 2000 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, CA 90067).
Your support can be given in any way. You can join our Team Mama and help make our presence known. You can provide a small donation to help increase the funds necessary to find a cure. Or you can simply write a few words or send inspirational photos of your own so I can post them here on this very special blog. We will continue this effort every year because we know our mama has always been a person who cared about health, well-being and most importantly, doing things as a family. We walk for her.
Please visit the main website http://2010memorywalkla.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=339551 and view the details below for more information. Please spread the word to anyone I may have missed and feel free to let us know if you have further questions. Your help and support is greatly appreciated from all of us.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Myrnelle

More importantly, it’s the annual exercise for all of us, we all know how much Mama emphasized how much she can walk and made sure our backs were straight all the time. Also, its yet another opportunity for us to spend quality time together and be able to share our experience with our friends.
