Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including more than 5 million Americans. In the United States alone, 16 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise.
Chances are we have all had some type of experience with this devastating disease. My Yiayia (or Grandmother in Greek) fought this disease for many years before passing away in 2019. She was an incredible woman and inspired us to start "A Tournament to Remember" in 2015. The KGSSL Aftershock family has been so supportive and helpful over the past few years and I know Yiayia would love to see everyone come together for such a good cause.
