The October 2024 Asheville Walk is coming up sooner than we think. Before then, I'm asking that you please help the Alz Assn work to End Alzheimer's through a donation to this site.
As you may know from previous years, my dear (younger!) brother has Alzheimer's. Last year he participated in study at Johns-Hopkins to determine if a deep brain stimulation device would be helpful in slowing Alzheimer's progression. Unfortunately, the results did not show a benefit and the study has ended, though he continues to talk with the doctor to see if there are side benefits to the device. I am honoring my brother for his participation in that study and to the many others of my family members through the ages with my volunteer work with the Alzheimer's Assn, and I hope you will support this effort as well. In the meantime, he and the rest of the family continue to enjoy our little granddaughter/niece – including playing in the backyard.
People ask - did they forget your name? - If only it were that simple! Dementia is a syndrome in which there is progressive deterioration in cognitive function beyond what might be expected in normal aging. Check out "Know the 10 Signs" on the Alz.org site to see the difference. Alzheimer's affects memory, thinking, orientation, calculation, comprehension, learning capacity, and judgment.
Thank you for helping to #ENDALZ, from me, my family and others who are affected or care about someone who is.
