The next evening, guests returned to the picturesque estate for a gourmet dinner prepared by Chef Emeril Lagasse served under the Tahoe stars and a performance from rock legends Little River Band, singing hits such as “Help Is On Its Way” and “Reminiscing.”
After showing an emotional video demonstrating the difficult role caregivers have in providing for their loved ones, Keep Memory Alive Co-Founders Larry and Camille Ruvo addressed the crowd, sharing first-hand experience of watching Larry’s father pass away from Alzheimer’s and the devastating effect it had on his mother.
“We are on the cutting edge of a lot of great things,” said Camille Ruvo. “But until that actually happens, these caregivers play a crucial role in the lives of those who are burdened with these neurological diseases. You may not have somebody with Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s or MS, but many of you all have a loved one that may fall ill or you have to take care of, so we are all in this together.”
