Our family has been extremely impacted by Alzheimer's this year. It has been heartbreaking to watch my stepfather, Mort, become completely dependent on others for his care. And it has been equally heartbreaking to watch my mother, Phyllis, let her health decline as she focused on being his caregiver. In fact, she came close to losing her life.
• Over 1 in 3 dementia caregivers say their health has gotten worse due to their care responsibilities. More than a quarter of dementia caregivers delay or do not do things they should to maintain their own heath.
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for your support!
