In January of 2020 my grandfather, Russ Morris, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. While at first the disease had a slow progression, after a few years the progression rapidly increased. The deterioration of his memory appeared to happen far too fast. It seemed as if one minute we were in the garden picking vegetables, enjoying the weather and each others company, and the next minute we were sitting at the dining room table with him struggling to remember my name. My grandfather is still a kind man who likes to tell jokes, but a piece of him is missing. The part that I'll forever remember and miss from when I was younger.
I'm walking for my grandfather, my future self, and the furthering of research for Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you for your support!
