If you know someone or have a loved one dealing with Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, you are aware of the challenge and strain that it can put on a family or individual.
Marcia Haynes is one of the individuals whose life was dramatically changed after her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. Marcia was his caretaker and advocate until his passing. Her passion for supporting Dementia and Alzheimer’s research, and caring for families impacted by the conditions led to her establishing the Dementia & Alzheimer’s Association of St. Clair County.
On Wednesday, May 24th, beginning at 11:30am, the Inaugural Dementia & Alzheimer’s Association Luncheon will take place at the Port Huron Golf Club, located at 4101 Fairway Drive, Fort Gratiot.
The event will feature lunch followed by an awards ceremony to honor Marcia’s work as well as other individuals and organizations who advocate for those living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Tickets are $50 per person, if you have any questions, call (810) 990-9558.
