My father, the Rev. Jack Carney, suffers from Alzheimer's, and is now in memory care. My participation in the Walk To End Alzheimer's is in his honor.
In 2023, as my siblings and I struggled to find the best ways to care for Dad, we also wondered about our own futures. Would we, too, fall victim to this disease? I was led to support research efforts. I signed up for the Walk To End Alzheimer's which was held in September 2023 in Lynchburg, and received generous support from friends and family. I had a great time at the actual event day, walking through downtown Lynchburg and visiting the various booths at the start/finish line.
I'm doing it again this year. Because of a schedule conflict with the Tullahoma/Lynchburg event, this year I will participate in the Murfreesboro event.
