Washburn Challenge

Help me reach my goal for Washburn Challenge!

This June, I'm participating in the Washburn Challenge by biking and kayaking, all to raise vital and funding for the care, support, and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

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!

Thanks all for your generosity.  Thanks to all the support I'm excited about this challenge.  I've started training and will be biking later today.  I'll start the kayaking part next week in Bermuda!  I'll keep you posted.
