This year, I am, once again, participating in the annual Alzheimer's Association 'Walk to End Alzheimer's' in Broward County to raise funds for continuing critical research, advocacy, care and support. We can't stop fighting this insidious disease that robs people of their personality, memory, and their ability to perform simple day-to-day functions for themselves. This disease is an intensely painful disease to observe, and a very slow and progressive disease to watch a loved one endure. I have witnessed it with my own family members for far too many years which is why I continue to participate in this important fight.
Currently, more than 6 million Americans live with Alzheimer's and that number is expected to increase to as many as 14 million by 2050 due to our aging population. We're already making great strides with new medications, etc. Our Alzheimer's Association Broward Walk's goal this year is $630,000. Our 'Walk' is in November. With your generosity and support, no matter how big or small a donation, we can help make a difference in this fight!!
As a lot of you know, I've lost too many of my family members to this insidious disease. My beautiful Mom, my Grandma's on both sides of my family, two of my Aunts and last year, a colleague and friend who was way too young.
Please find it in your hearts to help me in my quest to fight ALZHEIMER'S. My 'Walk' page is listed below if you wish to help.
I pray we find a cure for this disease in my lifetime. It would be a wish come true.
Thank you!
