"I walk because I helplessly watched my mom follow the path of Alzheimer’s that I read about many years ago - and there has been no effective treatment, cure or prevention since Alzheimer’s was discovered over 100 years ago. I walk because instead of watching me walk down the aisle at my wedding, my mom was home - peaceful, but unaware that her daughter was getting married, or maybe even that she has a daughter. I walk because she stared right into the beautiful blue eyes of her granddaughter, and had no idea those eyes come from her. I walk for awareness, funding, research, and a cure. And because it’s what she would’ve done."
