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!

North and South Hancocks 6/13/26

Another beautiful day to hike! Our plans shifted with the weather and we hiked on Saturday. We planned the 9.5 mile route, north first, then South peak second in a loop. The steep part of the North peak was loose and rocky, argh. The hike between the peaks was pretty even but, the lovely pine path discretely hid the black flies. They love sweaty hikers! We stopped to drink, eat, bug net, and reapply repellent against the vicious flies. The views were incredible at both peaks. There was a short steep rocky section on the way down. The water crossings were only slightly higher coming down and we didn't care if we got a little wet. We found a fun horse shaped tree to climb and take silly photos. We did make the end of the celebration party and I won a pretty awesome prize package! It was a great way to remember and celebrate our shared loved ones with Alzheimer's and dementia 💜
