Hosted by Team DeJesus
In 2008 I (Walter Jofre) lost my Grandma Ramona DeJesus to Alzheimer’s. I have always heard about Alzheimer’s but really didn’t know how the effect of this terrible disease would impact my family and I. In 2008 I joined the CT Alzheimer’s Association and formed Team DeJesus. Since then I have done all I can to raise funds and awareness towards Alzheimer’s from yearly Argentine BBQ to candy sales raffles etc.
This year at an Alzheimer’s event I was given information about “The Longest Day”. The Longest Day serves as a reminder of the long hours people struggling with the disease and their caregivers go through and the never ending hours of care needed for these patients. It also promotes ways to keep your brain feeling young. The Longest Day is an exciting team fundraising event of the Alzheimer's Association. On Saturday, June 21, 2014 (the summer solstice and the longest day of the year), teams across the globe join together to honor those facing Alzheimer's disease with passion, endurance and love. From sunrise to sunset, teams participate by doing what they love, trying something new or selecting an activity that honors a friend or family member.
So in honor of my Grandma Ramona DeJesus and the millions of people affected by disease together with BCF we have signed up for this event. We will have an amazing WOD put together by Craig Kenney followed by an Argentine BBQ. Together we can all make a difference. Let’s do this BCF FAMILY!!!!
