My beloved maternal grandmother, Lillie Kathryn Gray Stum, suffered from dementia in the years before she died in October of 2004. It was heartbreaking to our family to watch such a strong and vibrant woman fade away before our eyes, helpless to change the progression. When you lose a loved one to dementia or Alzheimer's, it is like losing them twice.

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 for joining the fight against Alzheimer's!  

"Do you or don't you, Grandma Kate?" We do!!
