All I have left is my hair...
My name is Kelsey LaPort and my father Thomas McMurray passed away in July at the age of 67 from early-onset Alzheimer's. I'm 30 years old and my sister and I spent the last 8 years dealing with this horrible disease and watching our father slowly slip through our fingers.
When our father passed i decided that I need to do something more to help raise awareness for Alzheimer's disease. For the 2013 Alzheimer's Walk I have a goal of raising $20,000. If I can raise this amount of money, I will completely shave my head and donate all of my hair. And I have A LOT of hair. I have more hair than 90% of people you've met. My dad used to always tell me I had enough spare hair to make three bald men happy.
