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 14 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.

My husband, Richard Wilson, passed of COVID May, 2020. While Parkinson's was not a contributor to his COVID, one of the symptoms of Parkinson's is dementia. This Parkinson's symptom was progressing at a rapid rate during his last 2 months of life prior to entering the hospital with COVID. I was his 24/7 caretaker so was very close to the issue.

My mom, some of her siblings, and their mother (my grandmother) were victims of dementia.

Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Please make a donation to advance the care, support and research efforts of this horrible disease.

Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's and dementia!
