Dear Friends,
My name is Ruth Yanes, and I am participating in the Alzheimer's Association Walk to End Alzheimer's. This cause is deeply personal to me because my grandmother, Clementina Bengoa, lived with Alzheimer's disease for 12 long years.
Watching my grandmother decline due to this devastating disease was heart-wrenching for our entire family. I saw firsthand the toll it took on her, as well as on those who cared for her.
Despite the challenges, my family and I were determined to support my grandmother in every way possible. We provided love, care, and companionship, but we also recognized the importance of research and support services in the fight against Alzheimer's.
That's why I'm taking action by participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's. By raising awareness and funds, we can support the Alzheimer's Association in their mission to provide 24/7 care and support for families facing Alzheimer's, while also accelerating critical research to find a cure.
Families like mine need your support now more than ever. With your help, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's and dementia.
Please consider making a donation or joining me as a participant in the Walk to End Alzheimer's. Together, we can bring hope to families and ultimately end Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you for your kindness and support.
Warm regards,
My Progress
