I'm fundraising for my Grandpa
My story is a very personal one. I was raised by a supportive family that was rooted in the love that my Grandparents had for each other, and for us. When my Grandpa was diagnosed with Alzheimers, I saw that he was not the only one in need of support. A disease like Alzheimers does not only affect one person. It takes a toll on everyone in its proximity. I watched as those I hold closest in my life had to come to grips with this new reality. Everything changed in a fundamental way. As I have shared my story with others, I've come to learn that I am not alone in this experience.
I believe in community. I believe in love for others. I believe in support for those in need.
It is not often that you are presented with a tangible way to make a difference in someone else's life. This is one of those opportunities.
Please join me in our efforts to support the Alzheimer's Association and its work to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention, and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Thank you to my Donors

Hi Carson! This is such an awesome opportunity, and can’t wait to watch all your videos about the training. Your content is a relaxing departure from the other New York, marathon-running, finance-bro stuff that I see on social media. You motivate not for the sake of improvement, but for enjoyment. So cool. Aside from my adoration of your content, I had a family member who had Alzheimer’s, as well. My Pop Pop, who was a forester and Wall Street guy, spent his last few years in my family’s house under our care, and it was then when I realized how complex the illness is for the person and their loved ones. No one person’s experience with Alzheimer’s is the same, but everyone agrees that all they want to do is bring peace to those who struggle with the disease. So that is why I had to donate immediately when I saw your post. Thank you for choosing this cause, and good luck!

Keep it up!! Your energy alone has been such a huge inspiration! (I’ve been a follower before you got famous btw ✊) But in all seriousness, my grandma also has Alzheimer’s and it’s been heartbreaking seeing it get worse over these years. There needs to be a cure ASAP, so thank you for what you’re doing!

My grandma has Alzheimer’s. We never had a relationship, and I didn’t even know her first name until this past year after having to take care of her. The process has taught me how to give an insane amount of grace when I did not want to. It tears families apart and will make you lose patience (she hid my keys and made me miss a final exam lol). Through it all, it has made me figure out how to push past all of the bad mental fog and has inspired me to use my engineering degree to design learning aids that will help reduce the progression of the condition. Good things came out of it, but I want to do as much as I can to keep families/loved ones from experiencing something very heartbreaking. Thank you for your involvement, Carson. *awesome cartwheel*
