Hi All,
On October 18th, I will be embarking on a solo bicycle trip from New York City to Montreal, Canada to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's Association. I will make my best attempt to complete the trip, covering a distance of approximately 410 miles (650 Kilometers) and 10,500 feet of ascent (3,200 Meters), in 7 days.
Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States and there is no known cure, method to slow the disease's progress or ability to prevent it. Alzheimer's is a disease that attacks the brain and is the most common form of dementia. It is estimated that over 5 million Americans and hundreds of thousands of Canadians suffer with Alzheimer's and that those numbers may nearly triple by 2050.
Sadly, a few years ago, my mother-in-law - Athena - was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and she lives with it today in Montreal. Athena is now 75 years old and is approaching her 50th wedding anniversary. She used tell stories of distant times with remarkable precision but now she has difficulty understanding that she has two loving daughters and grandchildren. My wife Helen and sister-in-law Demetra know first hand just how difficult it is to see the person that you know and love slowly disappear.
As a service to those affected by Alzheimer's or who may be impacted in the future, we humbly ask you to make a donation* to Alzheimer's Association, the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. Your gift will help them to accelerate their critical mission to eliminate Alzheimer's disease and to provide the best care and support to those living with Alzheimer's.
Thank you in advance for your support.
Andrew Pedvis, Helen Angelidis-Pedvis, and Demetra Angelidis
