My father taught my sister and me how to appreciate music. We had music appreciation time at home, which meant dad would play records, especially his favorite Benny Goodman and other Big Band records. Today I have a playlist of dad’s favorite music that I play for him when we meet. While he struggles mightily with his memory, the music reaches him like nothing else. He sings and recalls lyrics from many years ago. He is a great singer! We are walking to honor dad and everything he taught us. The power of music moves us!
I'm leading the way to Alzheimer's first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 14 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!
