Family & Friends,

We want to thank you for the support that you have given us over the years, especially your philanthropy on behalf of Team Susie Backlund to the Camel’s Hump Challenge (CHC) and the Vermont Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association!  

Over the past 7 years the CHC has grown in many facets. From year over year fundraising records (over $90k in 2022), to popularity (2023 event registration is full with a 50 person waitlist); this event is truly hitting its “schuss.” The driving force behind all of these successes is the continued generosity from friends, family and neighbors such as yourself. The impact of the CHC was highlighted recently in the Addison County Independent: https://www.addisonindependent.com/2023/01/19/skiers-take-on-challenge-for-alzheimers-benefit/.

However, we all know that there is so much more work to be done in the face of Alzheimer’s. And thus, as we have before, we are asking for your support of Team Susie Backlund. Click the link below to support Team Susie:

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to family, friends, neighbors, community members and the Vermont Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association – all of whom have helped our family navigate the infinite challenges of Alzheimer’s Disease. No gesture of support, help and kindness went unnoticed. Your tireless support continues to provide solace for a family trying to manage the complicated loss and grief of Alzheimer’s Disease.

Gratitude.   

The Backlund-Niles Family
