I'm leading the way to Alzheimer's first survivor by participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's®. Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease.
This disease has hit me personally. I lost my father-in-law to Alzheimer's in February of 2017. I have also been a caregiver for both of my parents. My Dad passed away from vascular dementia in December of 2019, and my Mom passed away from Alzheimer's in August of 2022. This is such a heartbreaking disease. Watching someone suffer from this makes the caregiver feel so helpless. You know the one you love is slipping away, slowly and unknowingly. It's like playing a team you know you can't beat, but you still have to play the game.
Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease. Please make a donation to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's!
