It's that time of year again! The Walk to End Alzheimer's is held annually in more than 600 communities nationwide, and is the world's largest fundraiser for Alzheimer's care, support and research. This inspiring event calls on participants of all ages and abilities to join the fight against the disease. On Sunday October 20th, my family and I will walk together again!! 

I walk first and foremost in memory of my grandma, Helen Forman, who lost her battle with Alzheimer's Disease on August 26th, 2012. No matter how much time passes, Grandma Helen will always be remembered as an exceptional woman, full of love, compassion and respect for everyone around her and a smile and giggle that could light up any room.

I also walk as an Occupational Therapist in the geriatric community. Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia are something I deal with on a daily basis. So once again, I am also walking in honor of my patients and for the countless people suffering with Alzheimer's disease, their loved ones and professional caretakers that care for them at all times. 

I walk because no family should have to lose their loved one to Alzheimer’s.
