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. 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!

Thank you to my recent donors!! And which peak I'll be hiking...

48 Peaks 2026 is up and running and I'm so excited! 

This year will be the ninth time I've hiked to hashtag#endalz. I will hike Mt Madison (5,367′) in the Presidential Range to honor my grandma Marion, who had dementia, and my grand Aunt Joyce, who is currently living with dementia. This hike will also include a visit to nearby Star Lake, which I find fitting because Marion means "Star." She certainly was and is our Star in many ways.

THANK YOU to my recent donors for your support: Stephen, Jen, Ava, Aubrey, and Xianzhe!! 

All donations - big or small - are greatly appreciated and further ongoing research efforts, advocacy initiatives, and education programs. This new era of treatment is made possible by many prior donations, enabling new FDA-approved therapies and more recently a diagnostic blood test for Alzheimer's! Every dollar goes a long way as we strive to meet hashtag#TheFirstSurvivor.

Please reach out anytime with questions about donating, or getting involved with 48 Peaks Hike for Alzheimer's! Happy Trails!
