Thank-you for visiting my fundraising event page in support of the Alzheimer Society of Brant, Haldimand Norfolk, Hamilton Halton. A decade ago, my beloved grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. It has been incredibly heartbreaking over the years to see her cognitive function decline to the point where she doesn't even recognize me. As of now, her state has deteriorated so much that she now is unable to have any motor control or awareness of her environment.
Recognizing that Alzheimer's is highly prevalent in seniors, I've worked hard over the years to fundraise and promote Alzheimer's awareness to minimize its detriment on families. Nobody deserves to go through what this burdensome disease brings upon. As the President of the McMaster Alzheimer' Society, I'm eager to work alongside my team of equally passionate and hard-working members to fundraise an ambitious $5000 this month. Last year we fundraised $2500, but this year I believe we can go even bigger! By donating to my event, you are helping to support programs and services provided by the Alzheimer Society to people living with dementia and their care partners living in our Hamilton community.
Every $500 raised collectively by our team will unlock a 'challenge' video, where one of our members or McMaster professors will do a wacky challenge. Thank you so much for donating and I hope this initiative has provided you more perspective about Alzheimer's.
