My Mary was diagnosed in 2020 at the Norman Fixel Center for memory disorders.  The decline was slow until she fell on her way to the bathroom in June 2023.  She broke her right femur and after repair, went to rehab until July.  She wasn't walking and Home Hospice was recommended.  While she still wasn't walking, it wasn't Hospice job to fix her, but to make her comfortable.  She declined fairly quickly and early in the morning January 31st, she gave up peacefully and went home.

Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising awareness and funds to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.

Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising efforts. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.

Thank you for your support!
