Hello friends,
This is my 9th year participating in the Northeastern MA Walk to End Alzheimer's and my company's 9th year as a National Presenting sponsor.
I am walking to honor my mother, Norma, who passed away in 2018. My Mom suffered from dementia for 9 years. I also walk in memory of my aunts, Lorraine, Pauline, and Elaine, who all suffered from dementia, as well as my husband's grandmother, Lee, who died of Alzheimer's.
There are over six million families who are living with the pain of watching a loved one decline due to this horrible disease. Every year on walk day, I make a speech on behalf of Edward Jones during the opening ceremony. I talk about how I am in the business of building relationships and helping families preserve wealth. Sadly, Alzheimer's has the potential to destroy both. I lived through this first hand with my Mom and I have seen too many clients go through it. I don't want to see any other families have to go through what we did. It would be wonderful if a cure for Alzheimer's is discovered within my lifetime.
We would love to have you join us in raising awareness by joining our team to raise money for a cure, contributing to our team, or joining us at the walk on Sunday, October 6th.
I appreciate all the support my friends and family have provided toward this cause over the years!
With gratitude,
Jenn
