My Alzheimer's/Dementia Story
Wednesday 3rd Sep
Personally, Alzheimer's disease & other dementia have had a huge impact on my family. My Oma (my dad's mom, who was an avid knitter & crocheter until the disease progressed and she could no longer keep track of her stitches) had Alzheimer's disease and passed away in 2020. My Grandpa (my mom's dad) suffered from Parkinson's with dementia and passed away in 2008. Additionally, my Great-Grandma (my mom's mom's mom) also suffered from Alzheimer's disease before she passed away when I was little and my husband's abuela also passed away from Alzheimer's disease in 2020. One of my uncles (my dad's brother) is now living with dementia symptoms as well.
I've been participating in fundraising efforts for the Alzheimer's Association since 2014. I started out by selling things I've knitted in exchange for donations. Later I learned to crochet and included that in my fundraising. Now, I'm also including stained glass pieces and occasionally my pottery. Yes, I have a lot of hobbies!
