My first experience with dementia and Alzheimer’s was with Gram Alice. She lived with us for years. I was so grateful our children got to spend precious time with her in our home learning about her life, baking, and gardening. Unfortunately they had to experience the declining stages with her that comes with Alzheimer’s. . The time and memories we had with her were so precious but I didn’t have the resources that are now available through ALZ.
I walk to keep those resources available to those that need them and to help continue the ongoing research.
This year I walk for Gram Alice but also for my Aunt Cheryl. It is a painful disease to watch someone so full of life become a different person. For loved ones out there, you are not alone!
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising efforts. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for your support!
