This will be my 10th year participating in the KC Walk to End Alzheimer's. An entire decade of walking with YOU, and having YOUR support. It means the world! The goal remains the same in year ten, as it was the very first year: raise funds, bring awareness of the disease, highlight the resources available in our local community for patients/families/caretakers, to honor the memory of those who have succumbed to the disease, and those currently affected by some form of dementia/Alzheimer's. We are closer than ever, to witnessing the world's first Alzheimer's survivor. Until then, we must do our part to get there….volunteer, donate, and help spread the word of our local resources!! It’s a team effort, and it couldn’t be done without YOU. Thank YOU for joining the movement to ending Alzheimer’s disease.
I walk in memory of several family members who were taken by the disease - Aunt Mary, Grandma Heim, and my beloved Grandpa Bettels. I lost my Grandpa four years ago to the disease, and there's not a day that passes where I don't think of him, and miss him.
Thank you, as always, for your generous support!!
XOXO – Jo
