My grandmother, Mamá Sara was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and passed away in 2002. I watched from afar as this debilitating disease took a toll on her and my aunts, her main caretakers. My grandmother went from being strong, independent and self-sufficient to not remembering things and being helpless. I observed my mother suffering in silence as she watched her mother waste away. A couple of months ago, my tía Anita was diagnosed with the same disease. I understand the path for her and family will be difficult to cope with. It already is. I walk for my grandmother and my aunt; for the many amazing contributions they have made on my life and those of others.
Thank you for your support!
