This year I will be walking for 2 people . Pearl, who I have walked for the last 2 years, and my father. Pearl has passed away and is the mother of my neighbor who watches my children.
My father , who doesn't currently have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, is a Vietnam veteran and was exposed to Agent Orange. Recently his health is declining and his memory isn't as sharp. I also learned that Veterans are at a significantly higher risk of Alzheimer's Disease, especially Vietnam Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange. I am also a veteran and was exposed to many chemicals while deployed. As I watch my father I also see my future. This is why finding new treatments is so important!
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!
