In August of 2022, Kevin was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease - a life-altering moment for our family. Now, in 2025, we find ourselves not just navigating the challenges of this disease, but embracing life with deeper purpose. Over the past 3 years, we've spent our time making memories - traveling, laughing, celebrating, and truly savoring each day.
Alzheimer's will not steal away our life with Kevin. We continue to fight, but even more than that, we chose to live and love. We celebrate Kevin every single day - his humor, his heart, and the strength he brings to all of us.
After a year of bi-weekly Leqembi infusions, we made the difficult decision to stop this treatment due to lack of measurable benefit. Instead we've turned to eastern medicine and holistic therapies that bring Kevin comfort and calm. This shift allowed us to focus on his quality of life, and on being present in the moments that matter the most,
On Saturday, November 8, we will be walking in our 3rd walk to honor Kevin (and my mom and late mother-in-law) - and to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research. Whether you walk with us in person or support our team from afar, your presence means everything to us.
Please join us. Walk with us. Fight with us. And help us move one step closer to a world without Alzheimer's.
With love and gratitude,
RuddStrong - Kevin, Nadine, Kevin, Jr., Drew and Samantha
