'Fishing for a Cure' to benefit Alzheimer's Association
Exelon's annual fundraiser offering $10,000 in prize money
BRACEVILLE, Ill. — Carol Berggren’s mother enjoys looking at pictures from the 1960s, because she recognizes the people and places. When she looks at a picture of herself, she doesn’t know who it is.
Like millions of Alzheimer’s patients, she often lives in her own world, which is wrenching for Carol and her brothers and sisters.
“Watching this bright, beautiful woman in decline is so heartbreaking,” Berggren said.
