FOX 29 has been talking about the Walk to End Alzheimer’s events happening around the Delaware Valley, in hopes of finding a cure. One Montgomery County family explains why they are participating in Philly’s walk next month.
A family in Montgomery County is participating in the Philadelphia Walk to End Alzheimer’s event this November in honor of their parents, Mollie and Seymour Tinkleman."They were just amazing parents. We always had a good time with them," said Ilene Gallagher. "It’s on all sides of our family - mother, father. Our dad is at least one of six first cousins who have had some form of dementia/Alzheimer’s.
"My mother thought they were living in a hotel or something, and if there was a problem or something, she’d go, ‘Tell the girl at the desk to fix this,’ and I assumed she meant my sister, Ilene, who lived with them," said Barry Tinkleman. "You hate to go visit, but you have to go visit because of what was for 70 years, but you don’t want to see them in the condition that they’re in."The family said in addition to honoring their parents, they also walk to find a cure.
