In 10 days, it will be my mother’s birthday. She has Alzheimer’s Disease and is really starting to lose her memory of things that have happened in the last 48 hours.

Yes! I realize that is a crazy number, but that will put my stories to 200 articles and this is a way to kinda show what I’m going through, plus what others I’m sure are going through as well.

No, it will not all be about Alzheimer’s, I will continue to write about the things I normally write about, but this is just a way to challenge myself for my mother’s birthday. She means the world to me and this disease is killing her mind every day, that kills my entire family!

I’m sure we have a lot of people that can relate to this and that’s what this challenge will be about, is raising the awareness here on Medium and my other social sites that I’m on. (Twitter and LinkedIn)

What do I hope to accomplish?

My mom was only 55 when we first noticed issues and she got diagnosed with dementia, very young for this disease I hope this brings more awareness to others that may have family members going through something similar.

It’s a disease that kills the memories of loved ones and all the good times they had with you. It hurts to see the woman that is everything to my existence and that was always the one I would talk to about things going through this.

Takeaways

It’s simple, FOLLOW me to track this challenge as I talk about Life and all the things I normally talk about.

It brings tears to my eyes to write about this part of my life and I pray this will help bring more people together to comment/talk about this disease.
