Alzheimer’s hijacked our family's life in 2018 when Rob was diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer’s. Rob died 5 1/2 years after diagnosis at the age of 62.
Throughout Rob’s illness we embraced science. We chose to fight Alzheimer’s head on by speaking publicly, educating others, advocating for research, and participating in clinical trials. Rob donated his brain upon death for medical research.
I became an Alzheimer’s volunteer advocate while Rob was alive and continue to do so. Participation in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® supports my efforts to raise awareness of the dementia health crisis — I walk most passionately for our children's generation, for those 65 and under living their best lives with Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease, and all who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another dementia diseases.
With increased funding, new disease modifying treatments will be discovered. Please make a donation and/or register as a walk participant in Team RoBoNo. Walk with us in Memphis at Shelby Farms on October 26, 2024 9:00am. Wear purple and remember Rob.
