"They" say you can't take it with you. The only thing you can never lose is what you carry in your heart. Memories...the pieces of your past that shape who you are.

I hope you never have to look into the eyes of someone who loved you your whole life, who shaped you into who you are, and realize they don't remember you. The worst pain, is to know someone you will never forget - doesn't remember who you are. To know that those memories you cherish and you know they cherished - are...gone to them. Erased. Forever. To know that eventually, that person you love won't even remember how to do what we all daily take for granted. Things as simple as Walking. Chewing. Swallowing. To grieve, knowing you have forever lost that person who was - and never will be again, AND know there will be a final loss at some point when you will grieve all over again.

THAT's why we walk. THAT's why we fight for a cure. Because memories are all we have.

Join me in Mt Airy this year, when we jump back into the fight. 

It's time. For all of us. Because Memories matter.

Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising awareness and funds to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.

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!
