Welcome to my virtual luminary page
I’m participating in The Longest Day to fundraise for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. In honor of the winter solstice on December 21, I created a luminary to shine a light on the darkness of Alzheimer’s.
Growing up I witnessed from a close distance how Alzheimer's impacts families and the independence of those living with the disease. It is these experiences with my neighbors Ida and Bernie that drive my desire to fight against Alzheimer's and why I am asking for your support to do so.
Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias, including more than 6 million Americans. In the United States alone, more than 11 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise. Please support me in the fight to end Alzheimer’s with a donation today. Thank you!
