Alzheimer's Disease has had a devastating impact on the extended Karasch Family (Karasch-Madden-Zwick). Henry Karasch, our loving father and uncle, succumbed to Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) in 2020, and Theresa Zwick, our dear mother and aunt, is fighting Alzheimer's now in a nursing home. Henry and Theresa have had an extraordinary impact on our lives with their unwavering love and devotion.
Research is the only way to stop this dreadful disease. Their sister, Joan Madden, will helping to lead this effort.
For this reason, we have entered Team Karasch in the Walk to End Alzheimer's on Sunday, Oct. 15 to raise money for clinical research. The event will begin at 10 a.m. at Clover Stadium in Pomona, N.Y.
Our team goal is to raise $2,500 and field a team of 20 walkers.
It's easy to feel helpless when an invisible enemy like Alzheimer's attacks your family, but Team Karasch will fight back. Please consider a donation to this important cause and/or come join us on Oct. 15 when we take a stand against this monster.
