As you may already know, on November 16th I am participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s as part of Deloitte’s team. Similar to many, I have a personal connection to this cause. I am walking in honor of my late grandfather, who passed away after struggling with the disease for many years, and my grandmother who was his caregiver during the duration. While as a family we were fortunate enough to allow my grandfather to stay home for the duration of his disease, many are not as fortunate. In addition, I am walking to support a cure for the millions of individuals currently living with this horrible disease, and to prevent future generations from the effects this disease has on both the individual with this disease, but also the toll on their family/friends.
While there has been great progress and recent news of successful trials/drug approvals, the fight is far from over. There are currently more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, and over 11 million individuals serving as unpaid caregivers, resulting in difficulties for not only the individual diagnosed with the disease, but also for their friends and family. Each dollar donated will help the Alzheimer’s Association to provide care and support to those facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia and their caregivers, in addition to advancing critical research.
With the help of many, last year I was able to surpass my goal and raise over $5,000 for this incredible cause. If you are able at this time, I hope you’ll join me in support of the continued strides being made to end Alzheimer’s by helping me reach my fundraising goal of $5,000 this year. Also, if you will be near the city on Saturday, November 16th, please consider joining me on the Deloitte team and walking together in unity to combat this disease.
Thank you!
