Hey Everyone,
Growing up, I saw my Gramma taking care of my Papa, dealing with dementia and Parkinson's. Some days, he recognized me, and some days he didn't. It impacted us all. Those experiences led me to become a nurse, specializing in dementia care.
Now, I'm in The Villages Walk to End Alzheimer's because I truly believe we're in the ERA OF TREATMENT! I want to find a cure and END Alzheimer's. Can you help me out? Your support means the world and will make a real difference.
Donate and share – let's make sure no family has to go through what mine did.
Thanks a bunch,
Melissa
