My family and I will be walking in honor of our dad, James "Shay" McCarthy on September 28th at Ocean Beach Park.  Please consider donating to our team.  It's heartbreaking to watch your loved one deal with this disease.  The following statement resonates with our family to its very core....

Someone once said, "If you take care of someone with Alzheimer's you lose them more and more everyday.  When they get the diagnosis, When they go through different stages, When they need treatment and When they pass away.  This is called "Ambiguous Loss".

We don't wish Alzheimer's on anyone.  As the brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loves ones are.  They could end up lying in bed, not moving and not eating or drinking.  

We need to find a cure for Alzheimer's. We thank you, in advance, for any help you can give.
