I'm helping reclaim the future for millions by participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's(R). I'd like to share with you why I walk for this cause. My sister was a four-time cancer survivor but succumbed to Alzheimer's after a nine-year battle with this horrific disease. She was a wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend, caring & compassionate to all people, especially the military. She would approach every person in uniform she encountered, shake their hand & thank them. Even in her last three months of life when she'd pass another resident of her nursing home she'd reach out from her wheelchair, shake their hand & smile although she could no longer speak a word. It broke my heart to watch this disease take her mind & body but I cherish these moments and I'm so proud of her courage. 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, and now more than ever with the Covid 19 pandemic, those suffering with Alzheimer's and their Caregivers are at even greater risk. The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with you! I hope you will register to walk on my team Debbie's Flock (Dutchess/Ulster Walk) or make a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure. Thank you for joining the movement!
