What an AMAZING time I had emceeing the 2023 Walk to End Alzheimer's - West Alabama event Sunday. 💜

So many of us have been impacted by this cruel disease. I walk for my precious grandmother, Alice Foster. Alzheimer’s stole her physically from us in 2022, but took her brilliant mind slowly over years prior. Seeing her dissolve into a shell of her true self was heartbreaking.

Bringing an end to this devastating disease would save so much hurt. Let's work together to find a cure so other families don't know this pain. 💜
