My Story
Pete passed away from Alzheimers on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Pete and I, together with Colin, Danny, and our entire family, have been dealing with this merciless disease since Pete was diagnosed nearly seven years ago with Early Onset Alzheimer's disease. Pete had a lifetime commitment towards helping others in times of need and he devoted his life to organic chemistry with the goal of creating medications to address disease.
The journey has been very challenging as there has been no medication that can offer the hope of curing or slowing down the symptoms of Alzheimer's. The care and support offered by so many wonderful professionals at the Alzheimer's Association, Bridges by Epoch in Lexington, and Seniors Helping Seniors, have helped us to persist and to remain resilient.
Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including more than 6 million Americans. In the United States alone, more than 11 million friends and family members are providing care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise. Please help us all to stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer’s by making a donation today to help the Alzheimer's Association support all those living with this disease.
Thank you for supporting Pete and our family by helping to ensure a future where this devastating disease no longer destroys the lives of so many millions of families!
