Hi all,
While I am waiting for a few people to get back to me to run some interviews (Cake Defi and Torum Founders!!) I thought that I would share some information about a cause that is very important to me: the fight to end Alzheimer's.
My grandmother was born in Egypt to a half Egyptian and half British family almost 90 years ago. She has lived a long and happy life and has been there to support me for my entire life.
A few years ago she was diagnosed with Dementia and eventually Alzheimer's Dementia. It has been a rough few months for my family and I with helping to take care of her, but at the end of the day she is family and is still the feisty chocolate-loving and tea-drinking lady she's always been; we've been able to find a lot of good in the chaos, and we are lucky to have such a supportive and close family.
Some general facts that you probably didn't know about Dementia are:
I am writing this post to try to bring attention to what is happening silently in the United States and all around the world. I urge you to donate what you can to Alzheimer's research at https://www.alz.org/ and hopefully one day we can find a cure!
