My mother was a blessing to our family

Before losing my mother to Alzheimer's, I knew I couldn't just stand by. I wanted to help my dad with knowledge of what this disease was all about. So, I reached out to the Alzheimer's Association for help. I also began my 17-year journey of doing the annual "Walk to End Alzheimer's" as a way to give back and raise funds and awareness of all types of dementia. Today, I continue to honor her memory in a way that would make a difference. That's why I am creating this tribute page in her name.

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 my mom's 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.
