We walk for everyone affected by this disease. Together with my team, we fight for a cure. We fight for them- to give them back their memories, to bring them back to their families, and give them back their lives. More than 6.7 Million Americans ages 65 and older are living with Alzheimer's in 2023. This equates to about 1 in 9 people age 65 and older being diagnosed with Alzheimer's. We see firsthand what this despicable disease eventually does to a person. We named our team "Pass the Moca" because we all work at Jersey Shore Geriatrics for the best Physician in the geriatrics field- Dr. Mark Pass. We administer baseline mini-mental and Moca examinations to determine the degree of cognitive impairment for new patients' initial assessments.  Personally, the worst aspect of this sickness is watching the patient's family as they struggle to answer these basic questions. Their glances transfixed on their loved ones; with a mixture of sadness, and hopelessness. It's all too much and it physically pains my heart.  Even with today's modern medicine and wonderful doctors, the roads all lead here. We need to make serious changes and stop this" monster." Please consider donating to our team for this important cause. Thanks for taking the time to listen.
