Charity – Alzheimer’s Association
The Alzheimer’s Association leads the way to end Alzheimer’s and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
This charity means a lot to me and I hold what they are doing near and dear to my heart due to my close connection to someone who is coping with this debilitating disease.
