On January 28, 2022, we lost one of the funniest, carefree, “never met a stranger” people to this horrible disease! My dad, Ben “Benie” Snyder passed away peacefully in his sleep and left a hole in my heart that can never be healed.
A little over a year later, my dad was joined by his sister Ramona who fought the same disease that robbed both of them of their senses of humor, their memories and their dignity.
Unfortunately Alzheimer's runs in my family! Not only did my dad and aunt have it but their brother is currently battling it and my grandmother, their mother, also suffered for years with it before she passed.
This year I am not only participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's, but I am volunteering on the walk committee! I would love to see a cure for this terrible disease that robs people of their personalities before it claims it's next victim in my family, possibly me.
Thank you!
