Bumpa’s Bushwhackers

48 Peaks

Help our team reach our goal!

As some of you may know, in September of 2025 I lost my grandfather and my entire family lost our Bumpa to health complications related to an unknown dementia. This summer, I'm honoring all those affected by Alzheimer’s and other dementias by participating in 48 Peaks, a fundraising event to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association. Memory Disorders have influenced many members of my family even before this loss and many continue to fight this disorder every day. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to even read about the cause, because spreading knowledge is how we fight this together. 

I will be hiking to the summit of Mount Willard at Crawford Notch State Park in the White Mountains on June 13th before the hiker celebration at Ledge Brewing in Intervale, NH with a team of friends and other members of my family. If you are able to please make a donation and help us reach our goal, any little bit helps.    

In the last three years, we have made monumental progress in the world of treatment against Alzheimer’s, including the first disease-modifying treatments. But, the fight is far from over. Today, over 50 million people across the world are living with Alzheimer's, including over 7 million Americans. In the U.S. alone, more than 11 million caregivers generously dedicate themselves to those with Alzheimer's and dementia, providing over $350 billion worth of unpaid care.  We must take action now, as these numbers continue to rise.

Together, we can show those facing Alzheimer's disease that they are not alone. Please make a donation today to help the Alzheimer's Association support all those facing the disease. Thank you!


If you have any interest in joining my team reach out to me and we can see if we can fit you in. In order to make it manageable we are keeping our to an absolute maximum of 2 teams of 10. 

Thank you to our Donors
