Dear Family and Friends,
What is your connection to Alzheimer’s or dementia? Who have you loved, helped care for and/or witnessed live a life with dementia? What are you going to do to help? When?
I ask these questions because it wasn’t until my Aunt, Diane McCord (Bruns), was stricken with a form of dementia that I TRULY gave a damn about helping with a treatment. It wasn’t until I watched her gradual decline and heard her say, “Oh, my stupid brain” when she couldn’t remember that I saw the gut wrenching effect it takes on a person. It wasn’t until I saw her losing her ability to see, walk and feed herself that I gave a damn about raising money, understanding the existing support for families enduring Alzheimer’s related diseases and wrote to Washington requesting they pressure Medicare to cover the newest treatments being approved. It wasn’t until it hit home and punched me in the gut that I gave a damn.
I am asking you to join in my fight to continue the amazing efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association as we host the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Lawrence, KS on Saturday, October 21st
Thank you for your support of me in my Walk to END Alzheimer’s.
Much Love,
Haley Bruns
