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.

My mom was diagnosed with earlier onset Alzheimers and this disease not only impacts the individual but the whole family. A cure is out there ... we need funding to find it and prevent others from the same experience that our family did.

I will be hiking to the summit of one of New Hampshire's 4,000ft. peaks in the White Mountains in support of the ALZ Assoc this summer - 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!
