The Team Barbara’s Beauties was formed in 2018 when my grandma, Barbara struggled with dementia. She was a beautician and had a women’s bowling team with the same name. It is a privilege to honor her by naming our team "Barbara's Beauties."
We lost Gram on July 2, 2019.
Shortly there after, in 2022 my Mom, Barbara’s daughter Laurie, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 64. We lost my mom on May 27, 2023.
On October 26, 2024 we will walk again in memory of my mom and Gram. We will also walk in honor of my cousins' grandma, Mita Brasington.
We will walk in the Orange/ Sullivan Walk to End Alzheimer's to help raise funds for this disease. Any donation made helps bring us closer to a world without Alzheimer's, and we thank you in advance for your support.
Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including more than 5 million Americans. In the United States alone, 16 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise.
As our team helps to raise funds for this disease locally your donations are hard at work locally and nationally as they go toward free education programs and services and research to help end this disease.
