Fundraising Progress
My Story
The Longest Day is the day of the year with the most light — the summer solstice. And it's the day I have committed to fight Alzheimer's disease! I’m 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 6 million Americans. In the United States alone, more than 11 million friends and family members are providing their care. We must take action now, or these numbers will continue to rise.
In November 2017, less than 2 months before my wedding my father died of dementia. Maggie was born 2 years later and will never know her maternal grandpa as anything more than photos and stories told to her by myself and my mom. When I was 5 months old, I too lost my maternal grandpa to this disease. It's time to do more to find a way to end this disease. The pain of a loved one not knowing you anymore and not knowing themselves anymore is too much. Together we can do more.
Maggie's Cakes for a Cause is based on the baking love of an ambitious 4 year old. With the help of her mama and grandma we are baking to raise money to fight Alzheimer's and dementia. Please help us!!
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!
