I vote for…

Today marks the official launch of CommuniCause. It allows the community to nominate and vote for their favorite charitable organziation. The winner, to be randomly selected from the top ten organizations based on votes, will receive a $25,000 social media makeover from us!

There were a few organizations that I would like to have voted for, but I’ve decided to vote for an organization that is fighting a disease that has touched me and my family very personally, Alzheimer’s disease. My Grandmother, Anne Falkiewicz, was a victim of Alzheimers.

Anne was loving and thoughtful individual, who adored her family and friends. As a devout catholic, she was heavily involved in her community and church. Loving and helping those around her was her passion and mission in life.

As the disease progressed, Anne slowly faded away. It seems so cruel that she spent the last years of her life unable to recognize the people she had devoted her entire life to. She passed away in August of 2006.

I hope that one day, with all of our support, a cure for this terrible affliction can be found.

Please consider voting for the Alzheimer’s Association.
