I walk because Alzheimer’s has been in my family since I was a little kid. I remember going to the nursing home for 14 years each week to see my great aunt Marie. It was a slow death, and a memory I will never forget.
Since then, my grandpa’s other siblings have passed away from Alzheimer’s and then my grandpa Welle passed away in 1994. It keeps spreading through my family. I come from a large family. My dad has nine kids in his family, so we have a large family that I walk for. I have 88 reasons I walk to be exact and that number is always growing!!!!
In February of 2019 I lost my uncle Roger to Alzheimer’s. When Roger was diagnosed my family started walking and I joined the walk committee to help do whatever I can to end this and not watch another family go through this. This year I am taking another step and I became the walk chair for the Brainerd Lakes Walk. I am in this to win and will do what I need to do but I need your help. You can donate to my walk or sign up a team or walk on my team. It is that simple to help me fight for a cure.
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 and helping me and my family win this battle!
