I am the Life Enrichment Director at The Deerfield, a senior living in New Richmond, WI. We have memory care, assisted living, independent living, care center and care center memory care levels. My days are spent finding the best ways to create smiles in the eyes of our many residents at Deerfield. My Dad, Dutch, was an amazing volunteer at the Deerfield. He told many stories to so many people over the years! This year, I am captain of the Deerfield for Dutch Team in New Richmond!! Let's go Deerfield!
My dad's story:
My dad, Dutch, was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in August of 2021, he was 68 at the time. It was a rough and unexpected journey to get to this diagnosis, and a heartbreaking journey after the diagnosis. Dutch passed away 13 months after this diagnosis. Please help me to raise awareness about Alzheimer's, and money towards education and research, and maybe, someday, a cure!!!
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!
