My family & I are again participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's. I'm raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease - funds that allow the Alzheimer Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research. Research is getting closer every day in finding a cure & new medications are being approved to slow the progression of the disease. Some may also prove to stop it
I'm sure most of you know my husband, Ed, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 6 years ago. Ed was always so active. He loved going to Disney World & going on special vacations since our retirement. Now he can't walk, speak, needs help eating, cannot dress himself or take care of any personal hygiene. It has been 1 1/2 years since I placed him in the Northport Community Care Center. This was a very difficult & heartbreaking decision. Sometimes he knows me but can no longer say my name or our family's names. His face does light up when he sees his grandchildren. Then there are times I can see the frustration in his eyes.
I'm asking my family & friends to donate whatever you can. No donation is too small. You can also join our walk team & raise your own donations. We would love to have you.
Thank you for your help.
