They were 73 when they passed, six months apart from one another. For three years of their lives, I was their primary caregiver and spent every day with them. Seeing a parent suffer from this disease is something no one should go through. I am a Christian and even in the darkest days when I didn’t have the strength to open my bible, I felt God carrying me through.At the age of 50, I was diagnosed with MCI or Pre-Alzheimer's and also found out I have one copy of the APOE4 gene. I worked with my doctors and started focusing on my lifestyle, diet, exercise, and brain health. After a year of focusing on these areas of my life, I regained my cognitive function and kept my cognitive abilities at 100%. Once I saw the positive outcome of focusing on brain health to fight Alzheimer's and Dementia, I felt compelled to give back. That is when The Night of Hope was born. The Night of Hope is a pending 501(c)(3) with the mission of bringing hope to those living or caring for someone with Alzheimer's or Dementia. www.thenightofhope.com
