What an honor to be selected to be the bearer of the purple flower and leading those who have lost loved ones to Alzheimer’s. When all of us who had purple flowers raised them high, I couldn’t contain my tears.

To those who carried yellow flowers, thank you for giving of yourselves in caregiving.

To those who carried orange flowers, thank you for supporting the cause to find a cure.

To those who carried blue flowers, we honor and respect your road through Alzheimer’s.

A white flower was introduced this year. Perhaps someday, we will be able to see a white flower being carried–by one who was cured of this terminal disease.
