This is a picture of my mother. Diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2010, she died on April 3, 2019, of the illness . She  died  no longer recognizing her family or remembering anything about her life. It was heartbreaking to watch her fade away as a result of this illness for which there is no prevention, treatment or cure. I volunteer for the Walk to end Alzheimer's because it is my way of doing something to fight miserable disease.

I know that right now there are many requests for donations from many very deserving causes. Please consider making even a small donation to help the Alzheimer's Association to advance research into methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's.  For the millions already affected by the disease, the Association offers care, education, support and resources in communities nationwide.

Thank you!
