After losing my loved one to Alzheimer's, I knew I couldn't just stand by. I wanted to honor their memory in a way that would make a difference. That's why I joined the fight to end this devastating disease by creating this tribute page in their name.
My grandmother had an adventurous spirit and a big heart. She taught school most of her career and continued caring for her family and community well after her retirement. She loved to joke and play pranks and had a HUGE sweet tooth. I remember one of her last birthdays with us, I took her out for a birthday cupcake - I bought each of us one, before I ate mine, I got up from the table to get napkins and by the time I got back to the table she had already eaten hers and half of mine!
By taking this step, I'm raising funds to support the critical work of the Alzheimer's Association: providing care and support for families, advancing promising research and offering a lifeline through their free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900). Every dollar raised helps ensure that no one faces Alzheimer's alone.
I'd be so grateful if you would make a memorial gift in their name. It would mean a lot to me and those facing this relentless disease.
A future without Alzheimer's is out there. Let's get there, together.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
