Hello, Friends!
I’m happy to announce that I will be participating in the Quest for Kindness to help spread awareness and fundraise for Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias. Alzheimer's Disease has been the bane of many families, including mine. Unfortunately, my grandmother has been an Alzheimer's patient for nearly a decade, and her condition has deteriorated severely from just memory deficits. Currently, she is mute, bedridden, unaware of her surroundings, and unresponsive to any auditory or visual stimuli.
It hurts me deeply that the grandmother who I was once so close to now doesn't even recognize me. It truly is appalling how such a disease can rob nearly all motor and cognitive functions from a person. But that is the sad reality, and it is up to our community to help our hardworking healthcare workers and researchers to improve the lives of Alzheimer's patients.
By making a donation to me today, you are helping the Alzheimer's Society provide supportive care, educational programs, and fund innovative research.
As well, the MAS Executive Team and professors at McMaster University will be doing some wacky challenges as incentives for each $500 of our overall $2500 goal. You can check them out on our Instagram page: @mcmaster.alz
Thank you!
