 Jane's Journal: CELEBRATING OUR MOMS

News




Today is a day to celebrate our mothers. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to spend time with your mother today. If not, please reflect on everything your mother has done through her loving and caring to raise you to become the person you are today.

My Mom does not know she is a mother. She does not remember those years of nurturing us, guiding us, pulling her hair out because of us and ALWAYS loving us. But we remember, and today is her day.

I love you Mom and thank you for everything…

 Runners: MORE BIO'S TO READ

News




Team Alzheimer's Bio's

Mark and Megan Abrahamsen My husband, Mark, and I (Megan) are looking forward to running the CBHM for Team Alzheimers this June. The race is personal to us on several levels. First, Mark lost his grandfather, Joe Portle, to Alzheimers a few years ago. We're honored to help other families cope with the disease in this small way. Second, Megan attended business school at Dartmouth and has a special connection to the area. Finally, Mark turns FORTY two days after the race. Running 13 miles should be a great reminder that age is state of mind.

Worried It's Alzheimer's?
Eight Symptoms to Watch For

By Caring.com

Applying the word "Alzheimer's" to someone close to you can be uncomfortable, even if the signs or symptoms have been adding up for some time. It's much easier to gloss over strange behavior: "Oh, Mom's just getting older." Or to rationalize: "Well, we all forget things sometimes."

Only a qualified physician can conclude with high certainty that a living person has Alzheimer's disease. But the following eight symptoms are strongly associated with the disease. If you detect these signs in someone, it would be wise to seek a medical evaluation.

 Runners: A RUNNER'S LETTER

News




HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

It is that time of year again for TeamAlzheimers. I am pleased to say that all 50 spots were taken on the first day of registration! It is now time for us to begin our training and fund raising for the Covered Bridgers Half-Marathon in June.

This run and fundraising has become so successful and we have been able to contribute to many organizations. One of our runners took it upon himself to write a letter that he will be sending out.

I want to share this letter with our readers as I feel it has so much to say…

The Agonizing Mind Games Of Alzheimer's

By Kathy Tyrer

"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked me. He was about 84 years old and interested in a date.

Sitting before him with my young son on my lap, I gave him the bad news: "No, but I have a husband and two kids. And I am your daughter, Dad..."
