48 Peaks

Help me reach my goal for 48 Peaks!

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. Alzheimer’s is near and dear to my heart, and I appreciate you taking the time to donate.

I will be hiking to the summit of one of New Hampshire’s 4,000ft. peaks in the White Mountains. On June 17, I am attempting Owl's Head and Galehead. This is a long hike approximately 24 miles. Please make a donation and help me reach my goal!   

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!

3rd Year with Hike to End Alzheimer's

I have been hiking for Alzheimer's Association for three years now. I am hopeful that a cure will be discovered someday. By helping me raise funds, you are helping to contribute to the research that is necessary to discover a cure. I have been a physical therapist assistant for over 10 years. I have seen the effects of Alzheimer's Disease on patients and their families. I have worked in Nursing Homes and in the hospital setting and Alzheimer's can affect people as young as 50 and as old as 100. I believe and hope for a cure. I call my team More Than Conquerors (Romans 8:37) in honor of people living with Alzheimer's and their caregivers because they are more than conquerors. 
"In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us," Holy Bible, Romans 8:37.
