As you may or may not be aware, this year Portland Website Co. is walking in the Walk To End Alzheimer’s in Greater Portland on Saturday, September 22nd in Payson Park. These walks take place all over the country, with the eventual hope that a cure for Alzheimer’s will be found. Did you know that 5 million Americans have already been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? By the year 2050, over 100 million people worldwide will have Alzheimer’s. That number alone is why we must find a cure for this disease! Our team this year is called The Portland Web Walkers and for every $10 that’s donated, you’ll be entered to win prizes in our raffle! Keep reading to learn just what you could win from this year’s generous sponsors!
