In 2014, at the age of 57, I was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's disease. I was shocked and scared. I didn't know what the future held, but I was determined to live my life to the fullest. I decided to write a memoir about my journey with Alzheimer's to share my story with others and to raise awareness about this devastating disease.

In Jinxed: Laughing in the Face of Alzheimer's, I share my experiences with the disease, from the early symptoms to the present day. I write about the challenges I've faced, the losses I've experienced, and the moments of joy and laughter I've found along the way. I also share my thoughts on the importance of living in the moment, savoring every day, and finding joy in the simple things.

I hope that my story will inspire others who are facing Alzheimer's disease. I want them to know that they are not alone, and that it is possible to live a full and meaningful life with this disease. I also hope that my story will help to raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease and lead to more research and funding for a cure.
