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!

while my mom didn't have Alzheimer's Disease she had memory issues brought on by a mild CVA in the mid 2000s. She endured so much because of it, one of her saddest times was a flash of clarity when she knew that she no longer recognized photos of my dad...Thank you for you r climb of support!
