Mom & Me in a pottery class - Your support builds education, advocacy, research and programs to help those afflicted

As many of you know, my Mom is one of the 5.3 million Americans diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease and I am one of the nearly 11 million individuals acting as a caregiver. This disease has no cure. Each time I see my Mom, I say goodbye one more time as I lose a little more of her with each day. Sadly, this disease has no end; the effects left on loved ones are life-long. Because of the road I’ve travelled and will continue to travel, I focus my efforts on raising awareness and research through advocacy, fundraising and extended compassion by facilitating local caregiver support groups. I am participating again in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s™ on October 2^nd at Lighthouse Point Park in New Haven. I’m proud to say that I’ve been one of the top five fundraisers of this walk for the last 5 years.

What you may not know is that 10% of diagnosed cases involve people under the age of 50. The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s is about to skyrocket. Baby Boomers are approaching the age of 65, placing this generation at a greater risk for developing this devastating disease.

The end of Alzheimer’s starts here – with a gift from you. Please consider supporting my efforts with a donation.
