I am raising awareness and funds for the Alzheimer's Association in honor of my grandmother who passed away from the disease in 2017. The hardest days with my grandmother during her final year were those when she knew what was happening to her and was ashamed. Mental illness at all levels is often overlooked or minimally discussed in a way that has caused research and development to lag behind many other diseases. I am walking to erase that stigma on mental illness and to work towards an End to Alzheimer's.
Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease. Please make a donation to advance the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's! #EndALZ #ALZin
