Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa to raise money for Alzheimer's Assoc. of RI

Dear Readers,

This February, I will be climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa to raise money for the Alzheimer's Association of RI.  I will be dedicating this climb and the money raised to my late Grandmother, Mary Gallagher of Newport and to my best friend's grandmother, Evelyn Sylvia, of New Bedford.  I am writing this post to ask you to find it in your hearts to donate.  Even if it's only a few dollars, every dollar really does count.  Feel free to donate the money in memory of someone you know and/or love stricken with the horrible disease.  I am 76% of the way to my goal of raising $2,500 with a total of $1,895 raised so far.  The link that follows will take you to the site I am using to raise money.  Please share this story and donate a few dollars if you can.  I truly appreciate it, as does all of those with the disease.
