Kerri Leo’s history with Alzheimer’s disease goes back generations. The Palatine resident’s great grandfather had the progressive form of dementia as did her grandfather, who died from the disease in 1997. Currently Leo’s mother, Diane Leo, is living with early-onset Alzheimer’s, which was diagnosed in 2010 when she was 63.
“It’s running rampant in my family,” she said.
Leo, who previously worked for the Alzheimer’s Association® national office as an associate director of conference services, will participate in the Northwest Suburban Walk to End Alzheimer’s® Sunday, September 16.
