I fundraise in memory and honor of my Paw. Paw. and for every family facing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Watching someone you love slowly lose their memories and independence is heartbreaking... what made it harder was how difficult it was to get answers, guidance, and support when our family needed it most.
Like so many families, we spent years navigating appointments, referrals, and uncertainty, only to receive a diagnosis far later than we should have. No family should have to fight this hard for a diagnosis, resources, or a path forward.
That is why my work goes beyond fundraising. I also advocate for earlier screening, better access to care, and policy changes that put families first... so others don't have to walk this road without answers, support, or hope.
This is for my Paw Paw. And for every family still fighting.
Thank you to all our supporters

The tiniest piece of MY WHY…
Saturday 27th SepI participate in fundraising activities and I advocate because I truly believe - MEMORIES SHOULD LAST A LIFETIME!!! Alzheimer’s has touched my life in a deeply personal way. I walk and raise money in memory of my Paw. Paw., in honor of my Maw. Maw., and in support of the countless families who have faced — or will face — this disease.
Every dollar, every duck, every step represents more time. More time for Sunday family lunches, more time for laughter, more time for love.
I believe in a future with the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. Until then, I will keep showing up — fundraising, walking, advocating, and fighting — because support in this fight is not optional, it’s mandatory.
Together, we can make sure no one walks this journey alone.
