The day that my favorite laugh disappeared from this world forever.
My sweet Nana, Carol Caffrey, had the most infectious laughter, kindest soul, gave the very best hugs, and had the greatest love for all animals. I truly got to see how tough my Nana was as she unfortunately battled this awful disease for more than 5 years until she couldn't any longer. During that time, I realized that Alzheimer's is the cruelest thief I've ever met. While her mind may have deteriorated, her heart remembered which allowed her to still smile and to hum some of her favorite tunes right until the very end.
Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither am I. My hope is that through continued support and fundraising efforts, no one else’s Nana ever has to suffer at the hand of this disease ever again.
Money raised makes a huge difference in the lives of those facing Alzheimer's by driving research toward treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.
Please consider joining my team, making a donation or registering as a participant to start your own fundraising.
Together, we can end Alzheimer's!
