To the Editor:

I’ve lost my mother and two brothers to the devastation of Alzheimer’s. I also have watched my sister and two sister-in-laws go through their indescribable hell as full-time caregivers. As a result, anytime I can share the need for support to help find a cure for this disease, I do it.

I knew the “McHenry County Walk to End Alzheimer’s” was planned for Sept. 30 at Three Oaks Recreation Area and waited to see the headlines and information. I was surprised, only a small note on Sept. 24, and I was on my way to Three Oaks before the Sept. 30 paper arrived with a short note in Section B.
