In 2021, after years of speculation, questions, stress, and numerous appointments, our mother received a diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Witnessing the impact of these diseases on her, robbing her of some of her best years and memories at a young age, has been incredibly difficult.

On September 12, we made the challenging decision to move her into memory care, providing the extensive and high level of care she requires. This transition has been exceptionally hard for our family to process.

On October 21, we'll be participating in the Golden Isles Alzheimer's Walk in St. Simons. We invite you to consider making a donation to the cause in honor of our beloved Deb.

The heart never forgets. Deb loves you all.

Join me in my commitment to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research, care and support. You can support my efforts by making a donation or joining my team and walking with me on October 21, 2023. 

More than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's. Seventy-three percent are age 75 or older. About 1 in 9 people age 65 and older (10.7%) has Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's begins 20 years or more before memory loss and other symptoms develop. The time is now to act - let's support those who are already suffering and protect ourselves, our children and future generations from this devastating disease.  

Will you join me?
