Ginge Cabrera of Greenwich knows AlzheimerӼs and the toll it takes all too well. She lost her mother, grandmother and uncle to the disease.
“I was in so much pain from the loss of my mother, I was able to turn my pain into passion and my passion is for the work this association (Alzheimer”™s Assocation) does to help those living with Alzheimer”™s, their caregivers and to advance research.”
A long-time board member and present chair of the Alzheimer”™s Association Connecticut Chapter, a volunteer and co-chair of the upcoming Celebrating Hope benefit at The Village in Stamford on May 13, Cabrera also recently joined a clinical trial at Yale as a “healthy brain participant.” The study examines the progression of rare forms of dementia.
Clinical trials are the only way to unravel the puzzle that is dementia.
