This year my family and I are walking for Alzheimers in Calgary in memory of my cousin Theresa who passed away in May from Early Onset Alzheimers at the age of 56.
The past 4 years have been extremely difficult for all of us as we have watched her health decline. Although, we knew of the eventual outcome, we were still deeply saddened by her passing.
It feels fitting that her friends and family are coming together to walk in her memory. I hope that Theresa is up there eating ice cream and smiling down on us and sending her love. I miss her all the time and with these donations, i hope to further research so that other families don't have to go through the same loss as we did.
Your support of the Alzheimer Calgary Walk & Run means so much to our family. Together, we're doing more than walking or running. We're helping make a meaningful difference for local families affected by dementia.
By supporting our team, you're also supporting Alzheimer Calgary's vital work in providing education, resources, and compassionate care to those who need it most. Every step we take helps ensure that no one has to face a diagnosis alone. Together, we're showing that there is strength in community, comfort in connection, and hope in action.
Thank you for being part of this important journey and for helping us honor Theresa's memory.
