My Personal Fundraising Page
Alzheimer's disease runs in my family and sadly took the life of my grandfather, Patrick Shane Donahue, in 2016. My Papa was smart, kind, and hilarious. A lifelong learner, he loved to read about everything from Shakespeare, to politics, to the Catholic Church, to outer space. He was also an attorney, inspiring me to pursue a career in law myself. My experience with the disease and the effects it had on my grandfather, his mother, and his siblings has inspired me to run in 2024 in their honor!
By participating in this event, I've committed to raising awareness and funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®.
Currently, more than 6 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to grow to nearly 13 million by 2050. Our future is at risk and we must come together to change the course of this disease.
Please support my efforts by making a donation. All funds raised benefit the Alzheimer's Association and its work to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer’s disease!
