Longest Day 2023
Shining light and raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and Dementia while donating back to the cause.
Today I shine light for my MOM!
June 21st, the longest day of the year, when daylight stretches its reach, people from across the world will fight the darkness of Alzheimer's.
💜💜💜
Alzheimer's & Dementia affects millions of individuals worldwide, and its impact extends far beyond those diagnosed. Families, friends, and communities are all touched by this condition.
I saw first hand how devastating this disease can be with my Mom, who battled dementia years, before her passing in 2021.
I chose to create our purple cactus collection in her honor and for all those affected by this disease.
Purple Cactus Collection
My goal is for each purple cactus to become a symbol of love, strength, resilience and hope.
- Love for our family members and a reminder of all the wonderful, good memories we've shared with them.
- Strength and resilience not only for those battling this terrible disease but for the caregivers standing strong and true beside.
- Hope of a brighter future and the promise of a world where families can escape the grasp of this cruel disease.
**A portion of all purple cacti proceeds are donated back to Alzheimer's research organizations.
