My Story

The Longest Day is the day of the year with the most light — the summer solstice. And it's the day we have committed to fight Alzheimer's disease in honor of my mother Dolores! Emily and I are participating in The Longest Day, a fundraising event to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

 

Today, an estimated 50 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including more than 5 million Americans. In the United States alone, 16 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise.


As you all know we lost my mom in April of 2020 to Alzheimer's. However, because of Alzheimer's she was gone long before that. She fought a long and hard battle and we want to honor her the one way we know how. By raising money for a great cause. This year we will be hosting "The Third Annual Beach Yoga Class" through The Salty Buddha Yoga Studio of Salem/Peabody. Thanks to owners and our dear friends Toni Pierce and Hannah Colbert. The event will take place on Sunday, June 25, 2023 at Dead Horse Beach in Salem, located in the Salem Willows area. All proceeds from this event will go directly to my fundraising efforts.  The wonderful owners of Toni and Hannah of The Salty Buddha have offered to teach this class at no charge to us or you. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO ALZ! 


Sign up will be through the Mindbody App. No sign-up fee, just a donation. 


If you are not interested in Yoga, you can just simply make a donation. All money raised goes directly to the cause! 


My mom loved that I was a fundraiser and I know she would be saying "Oh you don't have to do that for me" and "its so wonderful my sweetie pie is helping" if she was here, but we do. So many families are effected by this and unfortunately we know many of them. 


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 AMOUNT BRINGS JOY and brings us one step closer to a cure. A cure we hope Emily will see in her life time! Thank you!
