I'm running the Falmouth Road to END ALZ!
Thank you for your donation to the Alzheimers Association in honor of my Mom, Evie. Hearing the news 5 years ago that my Mom had findings of Alzheimers was devastating. Sure she was a bit absent minded, we teased her mercilessly when she once put her coffee in the microwave and started dialing her friend Pat's phone number on the microwave years ago... but most of the time that was because she was doing 3 things at once. She never missed a game, never missed a party or a birthday. She was a dedicated teacher and a loyal friend, but most importantly she was my Mom, my rock, my best friend. She was the first person I called with good news or bad and she always new exactly what to say, or maybe what not to say! She has faced the diagnosis like she has faced life, head on and fearlessly. Her motto "It is what it is, but it becomes what you make it" is truly her way of life. Her sense of humor is untouched by this awful disease and for that we are so grateful. I pray every night that the disease slows down, that she never forgets me or my brother. I know these prayers may not be answered in the way I would like, and I pray for the strength and patience to always be there for her as she was for me. The Alzheimers association has been an incredible resource for me as we struggled to learn how to talk about the disease. They support research on prevention and treatment so hopefully, in my lifetime, we may have some more knowledge on sparing others from this awful disease. If you would prefer to donate by check, please make checks payable to Alzheimer's Association and mail them to my home address: 16 Constitution Road, Hingham, MA 02043 and I will send them in with a check deposit form.
