My family was devasted by our Mother's dementia diagnoses in 2010. In September 2021 my mother Donna Bennett Yewchuk passed away after her lengthy and courageous battle with dementia. I think about my Mom every day and I hear her voice and laugh clear as day. Mom was a funny, fit and lively woman who loved dogs, golf, travel (especially to Hawaii), spending time with friends and family, nature, and watching hockey. She was also a strong person who taught me to stand up for myself. Mom believed every day was a new day, and in kindness and helpfulness. This is my 13th year participating in this charity event -- I am walking for Mom and my maternal Grandma Virginia 'Mickey' Bennett whose generous spirit also left us too soon due to Alzheimer's disease. Many of you have supported me previously and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
