Next week I will be volunteering with the Shoals Walk to End Alzheimer’s. My team is walking in memory of my mom and to honor the many beautiful people I have met that have this disease. This is a terminal disease. You lose skills in the reverse order of how you acquired them.
I walk because there is no cure. The funds raised will be applied to research for a cure.
I walk to help create awareness. For every person with this disease there is at least one caregiver making sacrifices each and every day. These caregivers need support emotionally, physically, spiritually and financially. They give up hobbies, jobs, vacations, social activities and income to name a few. They all too often sit inside of their homes in isolation. The golden years they worked so long to reach have turned into shattered dreams.
It is time for people to open their eyes to this crisis. Consider finding a walk in your area or donate to my team at Shoals Walk to End Alzheimer’s and team Linda’s Memory Keepers.
