My Mom, Mary, has dementia. Now she doesn't remember her family, the way she loved so well and so hard. She doesn't remember that she was the most amazing Mother, Nana, Wife, and Christian woman. She doesn't remember how to make the most delicious homemade rolls; or how to play Yahtzee with her Grandkids. But I remember! And she still lights up when I visit, and she still gravitates towards the youngest person in the room like she always has; as the kids and babies are her favorites! And she still knows love. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever! Show your support in any way you can -- monetarily; or spreading awareness and how to catch it earlier, and have open conversations with your own family and friends. Please make a donation or register as a participant and join me in the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
Thank you!
