On January 1, 2020 I joined 4 women in making a year long commitment to walk and raise funds for Alzheimer's care and research. In May 2020, I met the original goal to walk 1000 miles. In August, I surpassed the second milestone, walking 2020 miles. I continue to walk to raise funds for Alzheimer's Association.

December is the final month of the challenge. I have planned a Longest Day event - walking 20 miles in one day along the Skyline Trail. What a Longest Day, indeed! I will be joined (masked and socially distanced, of course) by brothers Tom and Paul and sister-in-law Janet, all of whom have supported me throughout the year's challenge. And my SJ Miler teammates will be with me in spirit.

I'm participating in the The Longest Day, event to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

Stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer's and make a donation today to help the Alzheimer's Association support all those facing the disease. Thank you!
