On October 24th, our family will participate in a memory walk for Brad's Grannie. As many of you know she passed away this summer after battling this disease for a long time. The past five years or so have been the worst and she also had Parkinson's disease. The family planned a family reunion for this day in Maryville and ironically this walk was scheduled for the same day. We will be doing the walk that morning and having the reunion after. I know that Grannie's spirit will be near!
Some of you also know that my grandmother (Grandma Neal) has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's as well. It seems that every time I see her, I see the effects of this disease getting worse and worse. She just isn't the same grandmother that I knew growing up. Alzheimer's, seems to affect the family more in my opinion because of all of the emotional pain and stress that comes when the memory starts to fade.
If you feel led to make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association and support me as I walk, I have attached the link below. Thank you for your support as I walk in memory/honor of these two special ladies!
