2024 Family Caregiver Illinois Women Conquering Alheimer's Award

I was awarded the 2024 Family Caregiver Award and recognized as one of the leaders in the fight to end Alzheimer's. This annual luncheon benefitting the Alzheimer's Association featured an inspiring program and conversation around Alzheimer's impact on families and our community.  This annual event, Power of Purple, highlights a Reason to Hope that brings together corporations, foundations and individuals to raise critical funds for Alzheimer's care, support and research as we enter this new era of treatment.

It was an honor and a privilege to be the 2024 recepient!
