What most of you don't know is I'm on a medication already to fight the effects of this disease. Donepezil. I could show you my MRI. I refuse to let it stop me! Come this May, I will have graduated from college for the fourth time. This time being with an actual Associates degree, in Business Management. I'm also still a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. Also still working full time while getting thru college. I felt like I was going crazy until the doctor explained my MRI and why I had such memory issues. I have white matter/ spots on my brain... affecting my memory. So, the only thing I have going for me is this medication used to help dementia patients retain some of their memory. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm not quitting!
Alzheimer's isn't stopping and neither are we. 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 - and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you!
