Let’s end the “it’s-not-fair” disease – Alzheimer’s Association
My mother died of Alzheimer’s disease in 2001. The look in her eyes as the disease progressed haunts me to this day. It was a blankness that was absolutely heartbreaking.
I call Alzheimer’s the “it’s-not-fair disease,” and I’ve pledged $100,000 to the Alzheimer’s Association to advance their mission efforts of research, care and support if they can raise the same amount by the end of the year.
Please join me in the fight by making a tax-deductible gift today.
I think life is filled with discovery, new challenges and relationships. It’s not fair that after living a full life, you can lose your memories to this awful disease – who you are, where you’ve been, the contributions that you’ve made. You’re surrounded by “strangers” when you die, even if they’re your family and dearest friends.
I’m passionate about finding the answers to Alzheimer’s. So much has been accomplished, but there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done.
No daughter should have to see the blankness that I did when I looked into my mother’s eyes. It’s time to figure out this epidemic. Make your year-end gift today and help us move one step closer to our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease.
