Thank you to the local media outlets who covered the Owensboro Walk to End Alzheimer’s event on Sunday, September 29th at Smother’s Park and shared the stories of the community.
Tina Coon, Caregiver of Owensboro tells the Alzheimer’s Association, she’s happy to share her story with the public. She hopes the community continues to support the organization’s mission. Coon says, without it, her father, recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s wouldn’t be able to go through the infusions to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
She agreed to share her story with the Owensboro Messenger Inquirer. Read more about her story below:
