Skagit Adult Day Program presents the documentary Walk With Me as its fourth annual Community Dementia Awareness event.
Life changes when 57-year-old Charlie Hess, a talented graphic designer, father, and charismatic community leader, discovers that his recent fogginess is due to Early-Onset Alzheimer's disease. His wife of 30 years, Heidi Levitt, is determined to better understand the disease, learn how to live their best life with it, forge a new path forward, and document every step along the journey.
Over the course of four years, what she captures as they criss-cross the country is a testament to the strength, resilience, and humor of the human spirit. While Charlie's cognitive facilities diminish, his charm, warmth and appeal take center stage, illuminating what might otherwise have been a dark journey into a story of love and a reminder that life is really about our relationships.
Experience this informative and heart-wrenching film, and learn more about dementia and the work of Skagit Adult Day Program. Before the film, we will show a short video of our work at Bradford House. A fifteen minute Q & A will follow the feature presentation.
At Skagit Adult Day Program, we have been providing a safe, loving space for folks with dementia and respite for their caregivers for over 30 years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn and support your neighbors, friends, and relatives with dementia. Your support of our mission is greatly appreciated.
See you at the movies!
