My grandmother, Bessie, and my mom, Noni, both had dementia so this walk is very dear to my heart and soul.  I choose to walk for them and everyone that is affected by this terrible disease.  My mother got to the point where she didn't even know me and that crushed me and was devastating. It was so hard to watch her in that state with empty eyes but I would smile at her and talk to her then leave and sit in my car and cry.  I try to not think of those times but the good times we had when we would enjoy each other's company and laugh. She is the reason I am a positive person today and choose to smile and be silly rather than be a cranky bag of junk.  If you could find it in your heart to give and walk with me I would be overjoyed. Thank you for readying my story.
