My Story…

I am raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of my grandmother, Mary DeRose, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2013. Watching her memories fade and seeing how this disease slowly changed the person we loved was one of the hardest things my family faced. By supporting Alzheimer’s research and care programs, I’m hoping to help move us closer to earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately, a future without this devastating disease. Every mile is for her, and for all those fighting to hold onto their memories.692f294ecda85.jpg692f295da5c7f.jpg692f29733c0f1.jpg6931b9d0c2e9b.jpg
