Dear Friend,
When individuals make the decision to join the Alzheimer's Association Founders Society, they know
they're investing in the fight against Alzheimer's. They're paving the way for future generations to live in
a world without this disease.
Members of this elite society also know that a planned gift is a wonderful way to combine charitable
giving with estate and financial planning. For many, like June Brouhard, the gift is also profoundly
personal.
June's beloved husband Todd died from Alzheimer's three years ago. As the disease progressed, Todd
depended on his wife for everything. Although it was difficult, she says, "I have no regrets. He was the
love of my life."
Decades ago, their romance began like a movie: College student June was walking arm and arm with a
friend when a handsome young soldier hooked his arm through hers and gave her a twirl. That soldier,
Todd Brouhard, became her husband in 1944 after he returned from fighting in World War II. The couple
eventually retired and settled in to enjoy their golden years together.
One day, Todd wrecked his car — the first indication that there was a problem. After testing, doctors told
the couple that "something was wrong with Todd's brain." June contacted her local Alzheimer's
Association chapter for information and realized that Todd likely had Alzheimer's.
In appreciation for the support she received, June has included a bequest to the Association in her
estate planning. She hopes her gift will help to find a cure for Alzheimer's: "I want to make sure that
others won't have to go through what we did."
Founders Society members make a world of difference in our ability to battle this devastating disease
— today and in the future. If you share our vision of a world without Alzheimer's, please remember the
Alzheimer's Association in your will or trust.
Many thanks,
Donna McCullough
Vice President
