Unfortunately, this horrible disease took two great people who were full of energy and always living life to the fullest.  My Granny and Pop were always on the move - square dancing the night away, staying up late playing cards with friends and family, and chasing their grandchildren in the front yard playing tag.  Over ten years ago things changed and impacted our lives more   It was extremely hard for us to watch as life became more difficult.  It doesn't matter how many books or case studies you read, nothing prepares you for the reality of the harsh disease.  When times got hard I always remembered that it was easier to laugh than to cry and to always be patient.  Now it's time to help me fight so no one else has lose a loved one to Alzheimer's. 

I'm leading the way to Alzheimer's first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 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!
