99 days

99-Days Inc. is an event that honors individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. From Memorial to Labor Day, founder Donna Spellman completes a daily 5K while wearing a photo of a person affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementia in recognition of their struggle. Their story is also shared on social media. Is there someone in your life who you would like to recognize?  Submit names, photos, and bios to 99daysinc@gmail.com.  Please consider donating to 99 Days Inc.  Proceeds provide caregiver rest, equipment and supplies needed by patients and family caregivers. Donations can be made here. Alzheimer’s and related dementia do not discriminate.  Thank you for supporting our clients’ journeys through 99 Days Inc.!
