Excited to walk into my 7th "Walk Season" with the Alzheimer's Association! With each step, I'm reminded of the personal journey that fuels my commitment to this cause.
Witnessing the changes in my grandma due to dementia has shown me the harsh reality of this disease. In high school, when Pandora was a big thing my Grammy Rita gave me one. She has always been one to keep with the trends. One of the charms she got for me was the forget-me-not. I still have this bracelet and the charm, but it means something different now. As her memory may fade, who she was before this disease is who I will always remember. I will not forget the strong, independent, and FUN Grammy Rita. It's a heartbreaking experience that so many families go through. But it's also what drives me to raise awareness, funds, and hope.
As we enter the era of treatment, I'm filled with hope for future generations. The strides we've made in understanding Alzheimer's and other related dementia bring us closer to a brighter future. Every dollar raised, every step taken, contributes to research, support, and the ultimate goal of changing the trajectory of this disease.
