REMINDER: Sat. Aug. 29th 8am

Tomorrow, Sat. Aug. 29th is the BIG day for Team Mama - Pasadena!  This is our 8th Walk to End Alzheimer's and our first time actually doing the walk in Mama's hometown in the USA.  We will be meeting bright and early at 8am at the Rose Bowl and gearing ourselves up for another awesome experience, this time closer to home!

We recruited an amazing 25 members, including 2 "virtual walkers" and raised a whopping $1,135.00 hitting an incredible 114% to our goal!!!!

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED US REACH OUR GOALS!

This isn't just about fundraising and finding a cure.  This is about FAMILY.  We vowed to keep Mama's legacy alive and to save memories from being lost... We know it'll take much more than what we can do, but we promise every year we will fight the fight until it's over.

Please join our efforts.  For more info:  Team Mama - Pasadena

We won't stop there!  We will continue this battle up in the Bay when we walk our official walk on Saturday, Sept. 19th at Fort Mason in San Francisco!  For more info:  Team Mama - Bay Area

May 18, 2015

It has been seven years since the day we had to let you go...
The cold and gloom filled the air. Everywhere the rainstorm shattered the streets...everywhere...except for the pathway that lead us from the chapel to your resting ground. It was a "calm" that sneaked in just when we were on the brink of hysteria.
The tiny light of the sun peeked out from behind the clouds to lead the way. Most of us fell hard from the weight of such a heavy loss, but we followed the sun in hopes to catch what little warmth it carried. In hopes to be by your side for one last time.
I know we all felt it in some way. I know because you resonated so powerfully within us. We held onto you; Our hope, our light, our everything because it was you who started everything. But...knowing this, we knew we will someday learn how to rebuild.
It was what you would have wanted from us.
It is what we want for us.
We may not be what we once were, but we are growing stronger every day because of you. 
Mama, you showed us the importance of family and this, we will never let go.

Sincerely,

The Dizon Family
