Alzheimer’s disease has been a part of my story from very early on. I remember being around 10 when my Aunt Iva was diagnosed. I had no idea what it meant. I had no idea that her condition would end up ruling my life through junior high and high school. I had no idea that it meant that I would watch my most lively, fun, and caring aunt slowly lose all of the light that she spent so many years putting into the world before it took her life.
In the many years since, I have watched Alzheimer’s disease take too many friends, family, and colleagues. So much has been done in the area of research and we are getting closer everyday. Please join me in doing what I can to support the efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.
Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising awareness and funds 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 — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising efforts. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease.
Thank you for your support!
With Love and a Lemon,
