Hello!
Thanks so much for visiting my Walk page! I am thrilled to be Walking to End Alzheimer's once again this year. As many of you know, this cause is close to me both personally and professionally. I started working at the Alzheimer's Association in 2017, the same year that I lost my grandmother to the disease. Our story is one that I hear way too often from people I speak with all across the country. I'm proud to work at the Alzheimer's Association and help push towards our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
There are over 6 million Americans who have Alzheimer's but that number barely touches on the whole story. As I saw with my family, the toll this disease takes is quite massive for everyone around the loved one battling the disease. There are more than 16 million Americans providing unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias. It was so tough to watch my grandpa and my dad have to deal with the changes, the loss before the loss, and everything else this disease threw at us.
The annual Walk to End Alzheimer's gives me a chance to help share my story and ask for your support as we try and do everything we can to end this disease. I am so lucky to be surrounded by such caring friends and family members and greatly appreciate your support! It takes everyone coming together for us to have the kind of positive impact that we need to see - thank you so much for your help!!
Once again this year we will be doing our Walk Across Chicago - Walking around with Grace to our favorite spots around Chicago! Please make a donation to sponsor a spot and send us to a different location around the city and we will get a photo just for you! We can't wait to embark on our journey again! Please see below for the locations. Please consider a donation of $50+ to sponsor a location and with your donation just comment which location you want to send us to and it will be claimed!
