My name is Amanda Neatrour, and I represent one of the 465,000 family caregivers in Pennsylvania, and 11 million folks in the US provided unpaid care for a loved one living with Alzheimer's and Dementia. I am a sandwich caregiver as a mother to two incredible boys, Valjean and Stokely ages 5 and 2.5, and a small business owner. I am also honored to be your Mrs. Pennsylvania American 2024 and am grateful to be a walk leader to help fund a cure for Alzheimer's, as well as funding for support for caregivers such as myself.
My mother, the most incredible woman I've ever known, and someone who was one of best friends has been living with the disease for several years. I formally took over her care two years ago to ensure her safety and well being. Since then I have watched this dynamic, educate, talented, and intelligent woman slowly lose her short term memory, and struggle with even the most basic tasks such as washing her laundry.
My mom and I used to do everything together. She was my biggest cheerleader, and now as a walk leader, I aim to be one for her.
Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising efforts. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for your support!
