As y'all may remember, my amazing mom, Peggy Wirtz, died of Alzheimer's (inter alia, as we lawyers rather stuffily say) on 10 October 2008.

This weekend, the SG and I are walking in the Alzheimer's Association's Workville 2010 Memory Walk on 9 October 2010, just one day before Mom's yahrzeit.

I would be most grateful if y'all would consider supporting us in that endeavor by clicking through to my walk donation page and tossing a little money towards the Association's many, varied, and valorous endeavors. I do know times are tight for many folks (what I do for a living makes that fact inescapable), so please, please do not feel compelled to do this (or to apologize if you can't - trust me, that is way past unnecessary). But if you can donate even a dollar, that would be marvelous and much appreciated.

Google's confusion about who said this (Margaret Mead? Macchiavelli?) doesn't alter its essential truth: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."

Join my corner of the vital citizenry?

The online donation page isn't quite as secure as I need it to be (not all of the info is encrypted), but I've printed out the page and I'll be mailing a donation in. It won't get there by the 9th obviously, but it's on the way!
