UPDATE: LANSING - As told by Suzy Corbin, a participant for the Walk to End Alzheimers:

"He started to feel tired a lot, very weak. He'd get lots of headaches in the beginning and we couldn't figure out what was going on. He couldn't work for awhile because he was so fatigued all of the time.

One day we got the diagnosis that he had Alzheimers and things started to change. We used to talk everyday, he'd call me or I'd call him. And then sometimes he'd forget to call me, or he would call me more then one time because he couldn't remember if he had called or not.

My dad is only 62, this isn't supposed to be happening to him.

We just got back, so it has been a week and a half from our visit. He doesn't talk, he is confined to a wheel chair. He can mumble but not anything we can understand.

It's as if he knew that he was supposed to know us, but he didn't know who we were or who my kids were. He just was there, but he wasn't him.

My dad was the rock of our family. There wasn't anything that he couldn't do. He was very loving, very supportive of us. He was my hero."
