My grandmother was one of the 5 million Americans today living with Alzheimer's, so I have committed to fight disease by participating in The Longest Day. The Longest Day is the day of the year with the most light--summer solstice and is a fundraising event to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

I have started this fundraiser campaign in honor of my grandmother, Ms. Jettie Mae Charles. My grandmother suffered from this horrible disease for a long time. Slowly watching this disease take over her life was one of the hardest things to see. 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. Any support is greatly appreciated, thanks!
