As a registered nurse and board-certified geriatric clinical nurse specialist, I have been passionate about dementia care and research for 26+ years. As a nurse and a nursing professor, I have cared for many persons with dementia and their families. I have witnessed first-hand the devastation this progressive disease has had from the viewpoint of a nurse, educator, and now as a family member. About twelve years ago, my mom began showing signs of early dementia. She is now in the late stages of this cruel disease. I cherish every moment I see her smile and hear her infectious laugh as I know these will soon fade. Please join me in the fight against Alzheimer's by supporting our efforts to raise awareness and funds for research. Thank you.
