I'm participating in the Alzheimer's walk in honor of my great-grandmother Grace Behm (née Boyle). She was tough: a 14yr. old girl who lost her Irish immigrant parents to influenza, she then saw to the adoption/care of her 4 younger siblings; saw to her own education; worked; married & had 2 kids; lost her husband to mental illness; went back to work as a single parent in the late 30's; retired from Civil Service, then went back to work as part of the original President's Council on Aging. She told me some great stories, before her mind was robbed from her later in life and much wisdom was lost.
Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you!
