My grandmother was a truly phenomenal woman. During her years on this earth she touched so many people and even now in her passing she still brings people together. As my grandmother got older and her memory began to fade she made sure to never loose her beautiful smile and contagious laugh. Her love for God and her family still lives on till this day. In August of 2022 my grandmother left home one night and got lost. During the six days she was missing a community was brought together to find her. I am so thankful for all of the people who helped in the search to find my grandmother. Although the outcome on day seven of the search was not how we intended God still showed up and showed out by letting us find her and forming a new family within our community. Alzheimer's is not something that should be taken likely. It not only affects the person who has it but the family as well. Donating to this organization helps in the research and development of treatments to slow the progression of this disease and someday end it. Thank you again to everyone who donates and everyone who shares and spreads the word.

Alzheimer's isn't stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's, I'm raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease - funds that allow the Alzheimer's Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.

Families facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia need us now more than ever - and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease.

Thank you!
