Please support me in finding a cure for Alzheimer's

This summer, I'm honoring my Mom, Mother-in-law Susan, and 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 at least four of New Hampshire’s 4,000ft. peaks in the White Mountains with the Mountain Zen Girls.   Please make a donation and help our team reach our goal of $30,000 towards research and prevention of this devastating disease.

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.
