“I lost my grandmother to Alzheimer’s Disease in 2009. I’m not referring to the year she passed, but the year she stopped being the grandma I had admired and adored for a lifetime. A woman so classy and kind, she made an impact on everyone she encountered. Since then, my mission has been to do all I can to ensure this disease doesn’t take away another person I love.
