"Last year, right before his 59th birthday, my husband Steve was diagnosed with early-stage, younger-onset Alzheimer's. Five years earlier, his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. In a way, Steve's diagnosis is a gift. Because we have this knowledge, we don't waste a minute. We know this time is sacred. Steve's quality of life is good — and we are living every day. This is our life." |

| On June 21, the Johanson's will join with friends and family to participate in The Longest Day®, a sunrise-to-sunset event to honor those facing Alzheimer's disease. Together, their team – "This is Our Life" – will run, ride, walk, kayak, swim and swing dance for approximately 16 hours to raise funds for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
On the Longest Day, join Judy and Steve. Start a team. Don't waste a minute. Take this gift of one day to make a difference for those facing Alzheimer's. |
