My dad was diagnosed with early onset AD back in 2015 and we've been lucky to experience a slow progression to date. I relentlessly preserve memories for him and for future generations of our family.

For my husband's lovely grandmother, Dorothy, who suffered so much in her life - the loss of a daughter to brain cancer, a young grandson to a car accident, the death of her beloved husband, and finally her own Alzheimer's diagnosis.  She stayed gracious and kind, even when she didn't quite know who she was being gracious to.

# data[].attributes.body
In memory of my neighbor that unfortunately took his own life due to the disease. And in praise of his wife, who leverage her community's help to manage through so she didn't fully lose herself.

Praying for all of those impacted by AD.

My mom dedicated years of her life toward caring for her father until the end, with endless compassion and even helping him try as best possible to finish his book during cognitive decline. Hoping we can give people like them more time together and find ways to support the selfless caregivers like my mother!

... who taught me so much about family, and had such large roles in shaping who I am today.

and for her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. May she be the last of a generation that needs to fight AD without effective treatments.

She was always a spicy, generous, fun, loving, hard-working and lovely lady but AD made it so difficult to keep her, and in some ways hard to keep everyone else too.

In his memory, and in honor of his brave fight in the face of this relentless disease. Alzheimers diminishes people. My Dad remained a giant in his courage facing it.

My Sunshine (grandmother), like many, is still going through the long daunting journey of securing a confirmatory diagnosis. I fight so that others don't have to go through this painful journey. Also, my Godmother was diagnosed with early onset, and to watch as she declines, is heartbreaking. I am because of them, and I'm committed to doing my part to create a brighter tomorrow, so that others don't have to experience this heartbreak, and are able to spend more time with those they love.

It's been such a long journey and he continues on as best he can moment to moment until all memory is gone. Hoping his niece's story has a much happier ending.

In honor of my mom, Margie, and my Grandma Hilda (her mom). I was caregiver for my mom for 10 years and my mom was caregiver for my Grandma. Both have passed and have been relieved of the suffering they endured as they were living but lost. We did everything we could as a family to bring them some joy and retain their dignity each day until the day they passed. I hope for treatment that will be effective to improve the course of this devastating disease.

My BEST FRIENDS DAD. He passed in 2019. He was an amazing man who bravely fought this disease and is missed terribly.

She was the most kind, gentle & self-less individual.  Alzheimers took that all away.  Praying for advancements in AD...so that others don't have to suffer the way she (and our family) did.

For my Father-In-Law and his 4 siblings who all suffered from Alzheimers. Here is to hoping that generations to come don't have to experience such suffering.

My nonna Percília had a tough life but she always had a big smile on her face. She liked to cook and to sing - I can still taste her "bolinho de chuva" and hear her singing  Italian lullabies.
I miss you, nonna.
