Ramos notes “this fundraiser is very important to us at Touching Hearts at Home as our exceptional CareTeam specializes in Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care. We have been affected personally by this horrible disease when my mother-in-law was diagnosed many years ago, and we know that according to the Alzheimer’s Association, worldwide, 50 million people are living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. We also see it with many of the seniors that we serve, which is why it’s so important for us to do our part in the fight to end Alzheimer’s.”
