We can make a difference!
Friday 24th AprSaved. Here’s the tightened version for your fundraiser page — 380 words, every line earning its place.
12 Hours. One Bridge. Will You Cross It With Me?
Sunday. 8am to 8pm. One paddle. One mission.
I’m playing pickleball for 12 straight hours to raise money for people living with early onset Alzheimer’s and dementia — families who just lost critical funding when they needed it most.
I’m not asking you to match my 12. I’m asking for your 1.
One hour. $5. Every dollar matched 15% by our sponsor. Your $5 becomes $5.75. Multiply that by all of us, and the math gets beautiful.
Who I am (and why this won’t let me go):
They call me The Big Dill at TPP — but I’m only a big anything because of every person who walks through our doors. My world runs on math. My life runs on feeling. Both have been telling me the same thing: we are more connected than we know, and we are running out of time to prove it.
Pickleball is the bridge to Kumandra.
In the story, Kumandra was a land once whole — where every difference made the whole stronger. Then fear divided it, and everyone believed the bridge was gone.
That’s Alzheimer’s. That’s dementia. A mind once whole, broken into pieces. A husband who can’t find his wife’s name. A daughter hoping today is the day he remembers. A world where loved ones become strangers in the slowest, cruelest way.
It’s also our world right now — divided, convinced the bridge is gone.
But the bridge was never gone. It’s just waiting for someone to step on it first.
The math I can’t let go of:
1 hour × hundreds of you × $5 × the people you bring × a 15% match = millions. For real families.
🎾 SHOW UP — play 1 hour, any hour, Sunday 8am–8pm at TPP
🤝 CONNECT — bring a friend. Bring two.
💙 TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER — $5 minimum. 100% supports early onset Alzheimer’s & dementia care, support, and research.
Can’t make it? Donate. Share. Tell one person. That’s your step on the bridge.
I’ll see you on the bridge.
Gratefully,
Taylor Heal — The Big Dill
