48 Peaks

My team is participating in 48 Peaks because Alzheimer's has affected all of us. We have successfully climbed our two peaks! Mt Madison, 5,367ft and Mount Monadnock, 3,165ft! Along the trails, we raised vital funding and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association. We took on this challenge to show others that mountains can be moved. Together, we will outshine the darkness of Alzheimer's and illuminate a path towards a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementias!

I will be hiking again next year, I hope you will consider donating or joining me on the trail.

Why We Hike:

Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Over 7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's, and over 11 million are acting as their caregivers.

We are hiking for all those affected while raising funds and awareness to advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer's.

Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer's research - only dollars. But together, we can help change that. Alzheimer's touches all of us, and it will take all of us to end it. Hiking for a future without Alzheimer's.

Thank you to our Donors
