Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®. Caring for and ultimately my mom to this horrible disease has been the most gut-wrenching experience I could ever imagine. She was stripped away from us, little piece by little piece until she could no longer function and passed away at the young age of 60, just after celebrating her 37-year wedding anniversary with my dad - her primary caregiver. It was a long and agonizing experience for both my mother and everyone who loves her. My heart aches for all the families who go through this.
Joining the fight against Alzheimer's has given me something positive to focus on and hopefully will affect some change for the future so other families do not go through what ours has endured. I sincerely hope you'll consider joining me in the walk on September 24th by joining my team or supporting the cause with a donation.
Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 14 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease. Please make a donation to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's!
