Welcome to my virtual luminary page
I’m participating in The Longest Day in memory of my mother who lost her battle with Lew Body Dementia in May 2019. I fundraise for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. In honor of the winter solstice on December 21, I created a luminary to shine a light on the darkness of Alzheimer’s.
Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, including more than 6 million Americans. In the United States alone, more than 11 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise. Please support me in the fight to end Alzheimer’s with a donation today. Thank you!
Joan, my mother
