The Dallas Walk to End Alzheimer’s will be on Saturday, November 1, 2025. A special “thank-you” to the Percy Fund and Don Crawford for their generous contribution to Michael’s Marchers to start this year’s campaign off right.  We continue to march forward (one step at a time) toward a world without Alzheimer’s. If you would like to join Michael’s Marchers (whether walking or contributing or both) in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, click here. 

Our newest articles and podcasts are now available on YouTube or on our website.  Let us know if you like it.  We also have a new audio visual podcast that has a pie chart on what happens to your real estate and personal property if you die without a will (you might be surprised).  Click here to listen and see it.
