So it's very symbolic of that challenging journey that we all face when we're dealing with Alzheimer's in our family or with our friends or in our workplace, and it represents the perseverance and continuous effort required to navigate the complexities of this awful disease." ~ Liz Gorman- Alzheimer’s AssociationTitle: The Longest Day: A Powerful Event for Alzheimer’s Awareness and Community BuildingWelcome to this week's episode of Life Happens with Kim Hegwood!
