#4.) A spokesperson for the Alzheimer’s Association
Not many people know this, but Eddie Edwards outside the ring has been an extensive fundraiser and spokesman for Alzheimer’s Association. He’s a part of it in honor of his grandfather, who suffered from Alzheimer’s and passed away many years ago. In an interview with Orlando Sentinal, Edwards said:
“I meet so many people affected by this disease, it’s astonishing. And it’s not just the people themselves – it’s the friends, the family, the caretakers. It affects everyone around the situation. It can be comforting to see there are others out there going through it who can support you – that’s what the association is for.”
Edwards’ mother does extensive work for Alzheimer’s Association as well, operating from Massachusettes.
