Still time to donate and help me reach my goal! 1. **Prevalence**: Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of dementia cases. It's estimated that over 6 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's. 2. **Progressive Nature**: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Symptoms gradually worsen over time, often starting with mild memory problems and advancing to severe impairment. 3. **Risk Factors**: Age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's, with most people diagnosed being 65 or older. Other risk factors include genetics, family history, and certain health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. 4. **Symptoms**: Early symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events, confusion about time or place, trouble understanding visual images, and problems with speaking or writing. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience severe memory loss, difficulty performing daily tasks, and changes in mood and behavior. 5. **Treatment and Management**: While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, treatments are available to help manage symptoms. Medications can temporarily improve or slow the progression of symptoms. Non-drug approaches, such as cognitive therapy, lifestyle changes, and support from caregivers, are also important in managing the disease.

Friends and Colleagues , I hope that this finds you well and enjoying your summer! As I shared here in the last few weeks, I was diagnosed in early 2023 with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. I’m fighting like hell to stave off this disease! The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is on September 28. I am fundraising with the Alzheimer’s Association to find a cure. Fact: In the US there are approximately 7 million people living with Alzheimer’s and by 2030 it is projected to be 8.5 million. I need your help meeting my fundraising goal of $7500. Please consider a donation toward a cure. All donations will be helpful and greatly appreciated! Below is a link to my Alz walk team site to donate and/or join our team for the walk. Also below are some facts and reasons to donate. https://lnkd.in/ebuhDPva Do you know someone who is living or lived with Alzheimer’s. Perhaps a beloved family member-a parent or grandparent, or a friend, neighbor or colleague? There is no proven way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s begins 20 or more years before memory lost. There is currently no cure. Ultimately, Alzheimer’s disease is fatal. Lifespan depends on age of diagnosis, other health conditions, lifestyle and treatments. People age 65 and older survive an average of four to eight years after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia, yet some live as long as 20 years.

?? Saving Lives with Horizon Power Lifeblood Team ?? We’re thrilled to share that the Horizon Power Lifeblood Team has once again stepped up in response to last week’s urgent call for blood donors from the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood! 5 dedicated volunteers from Horizon Power joined forces in this life-saving mission. This year alone, our collective efforts have resulted in an incredible milestone – together we’ve saved 138 lives! It’s more than just a number; it’s a testament to our commitment to making a difference. Here’s what some of our amazing donors had to say: ? “I’m grateful for HP’s support. After my dad’s emergency surgery required transfusion, I understand the importance of giving back.” ? “Blood donation has such an impactful ripple effect on our community – let’s keep rallying!” ? “It was seamless – something I’ve wanted to do finally happened.” ? “Horizon Power isn’t just about power; it’s about empowering our community through action.” ? “The group dynamic made donating so much easier.” We’re proud not only of these acts of kindness but also of fostering a culture where giving back is part of who we are at Horizon Power. Let’s continue this journey together – your drop can be someone’s hope! #HorizonPower #LifebloodTeam #CommunityImpact #BloodDonation #SaveLive

Hello LinkedIn Connections, I do not post much on LinkedIn. I am more of a reader than a contributor. So posting is a little out of my comfort zone. It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating news that my mother has been diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, at the young age of 61. ALS is a progressive and fatal neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement such as walking, swallowing and breathing. You might have heard of ALS in light of the 2014 #IceBucketChallenge, which has resulted in several life prolonging medications for ALS patients. Since her diagnosis, she has moved in with me so that I can be her caretaker alongside the professionals. This is a very physically and emotionally demanding role that I am delighted to do - being her caretaker is fulfilling God's work. I truly stand by that. I bring this up because the ALS Association hosts annual walks in different cities around the United States to raise money for ALS research and resources as well as spread awareness of this awful disease. In honor of my mothers everyday battle, I created a team, named Tammy's Tenacity, for the Fort Worth ALS Walk to Defeat ALS event happening on October 19th, 2024. As team captain, it is my role to cultivate a team and fundraise for further ALS research and resources. So, I am taking a leap of faith to ask my connections and/or their organizations to humbly donate to my team, Tammy's Tenacity. Your donation, big or small, greatly improves the life of ALS patients and their caretakers. Let's find a CURE! ?? To make a donation to my team, use the link below and search the team name "Tammy's Tenacity". Select a team member (you can select me, Sarah Salas) to make a one-time donation to. Each donation will receive a LinkedIn accreditation post from me, personally. ?? #ALS #LouGehrigsDisease #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis #ALSawareness #FindACure #ALScaretaker #Fundraising #Donations https://lnkd.in/g9s49CDc

It's not just grandma and grampa we need to save on National Donation Day. It's all of us! June 20th, The Longest Day, is the day with the most light and the day we fight! I shine a light on the fight to end Alzheimer’s for my wife, Beth Anderson, who I lost to this terrible disease at the age of 50, and those who are yet to be diagnosed.? Please partner with me on The Longest Day, June 20th; I’ll be running nine miles around Bachman Lake in honor of my wife, the six million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s, and the eleven million people who provide unpaid care to Alzheimer's patients to raise vital research funds and awareness. I'm asking for your support by donating to my fundraiser at: ?https://lnkd.in/dExbwWRk. Last year, we had 100 people donate $50 to reach $5,000. This year, my goal is to get 120 people to contribute $50, for a total of $6,000. Here is our story:?https://lnkd.in/gqEkRaPp Alzheimer’s Facts: 1. 55 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s. 2. 1 in 3 seniors dies due to Alzheimer’s or another dementia. 3. 1 in 9 people aged 65 and older has Alzheimer’s. 4. Alzheimer’s kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 5. Two thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women. 6. Eighty-three percent of the help provided to older adults in the U.S. comes from family members, friends, or other unpaid caregivers. 7. In 2023, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $345 billion, and by 2050 the cost is estimated to be $1 trillion.? #ENDALZ
