Our Fight Against Alzheimer's Disease
Our grandfather, Sohan Singh Khangura, recently lost his hard-fought battle with dementia. He was one of the funniest, laidback, and most caring person we ever had the pleasure of calling our grandpa.
He was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago and this was the first time our family found out what this illness was. We learned a lot through this process. It was difficult to understand what this illness can do to a person. It was hard to see him slowly lose his personality and memories; and even forget his own loved ones at times.
Right now, there is no cure for dementia, but we want to help change this.
We would like to raise money for Alzheimer’s research in his name. Help us help the experts find a cure for this disease. No one should have to go through the challenges associated with it.
We understand that times are difficult right now with the COVID-19 virus spreading so rapidly around the world, but we are so incredibly thankful for all the help we can get.
Rest in peace, Gramps.
