My fight for a cure for Alzheimer’s is deeply personal. I lost my mom, my best friend and soulmate, to this heartbreaking disease in 2019. From the moment she was diagnosed until her final day, I never left her side. I witnessed firsthand how Alzheimer’s slowly steals memories but never love. Even when she could no longer say my name, I know she still felt my heart — she knew I was someone special to her. That bond, unbroken even through confusion, taught me what true love and devotion mean. I miss her every second, and everything I do in this cause is in her honor. My mission is to raise awareness, bring hope, and fight for a future where no family has to endure what we did. For my mom, and for everyone still fighting, I’ll never stop until there’s a cure.
