My Story

Creating my own line of reading glasses is something I always wanted to do. At first, raising a family was a priority then it was working in my optical store; after that it was taking care of my elderly parents. But when my father died and my mother developed Alzheimer’s, I couldn’t help but think about my life and all the things I wanted to do.

I knew that it was now or never.

Not Just My Cause

Alzheimer’s is not just about forgetting people or things. Alzheimer’s disease causes a complete physical deterioration of your whole self to the point where your body stops working.

Every Alzheimer’s story is horrible.

The Alzheimer’s Association is a remarkable community of support. Most of the volunteers have first-hand experience with the disease; many don’t. Their hearts are big and the comfort and care they provide truly helps lessen the blow. As this disease becomes more widespread, more people are committing to involvement. They spread more comfort and more care and are raising more funds to provide all types of support services and further research. I felt that being active in the Alzheimer’s association was an amazing community that I wanted to be a part of it.

Alzheimer's is not just my cause, it is our cause. In some way, Alzheimer’s disease will affect each and every one of us; we need to find a cure.
