Why I Ride:
This ride is personal. Charlie's courageous battle with Lewy Body Dementia ended on 3.19.24. My family created a team to raise money to support the research to find a cure for ALZ. People refer to ALZ as the long goodbye and we now understand why. For us it has been years of watching slow deterioration of a once strong, goofy, happy man into a man that could no longer care for himself. We watched his valiant efforts to overcome the mental and physical challenges but they eventually took over. It is hard to remember the timing of each loss like the last time he gave you a ride somewhere, the last crazy message he left on your phone or the last conversation you had that made sense. It truly sucks! Please support our team so someone in our family tree or yours will survive this horrible disease. Thank you!
Cheer Me On!
