Margo DeRouchie, a member of the Berks team Campfield Cares, shares her personal motivation for walking and fundraising this .
"I was personally affected when my mom, Mary Ann, was diagnosed with vascular dementia. I was gradually losing her and it was both tortuous and heart-wrenching to watch someone you love and respect disappear. My mom was once a nursing supervisor at a local hospital. She loved helping others and was a beautiful person inside and out...a fun-loving, intelligent, hardworking and compassionate person. She loved life; traveling, gardening, music, her faith, playing games, reading and constantly learning! Family meant the world to her and I did everything in my power to be there for her until the very end. Whenever I entered the room, my mom would light up and smile, a reflection of her appreciation of what I was doing for her. She was the light of my life and the reason I participate in Walk to End Alzheimer's."
