I can’t put into words what we experienced with our father. It was brutal. Traumatizing. Heart wrenching. He deteriorated so quickly we never knew if it was Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia, but all I know is no one should ever have to endure it. I never really talk about what happened because of how incredibly difficult that year of my life was, but my dad is why I’m taking part in the Miles That Matter Challenge. This is a 10-day movement to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association. Each day, I’ll complete a mile that represents hope, strength, and progress toward a future without Alzheimer’s. Through this challenge, I’m raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Association to support critical research, care, and advocacy, all aimed at one goal: a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Join me in making every mile matter by donating to my challenge today. Together, we can move toward a world without Alzheimer’s.
