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.

This photo is of my grandma Kay in her basement darkroom. I only recently found out that we shared a passion of photography. She passed away from Alzheimer's after living with the disease for many years. Each year, I try to find a way to honor her memory and fight back. 

This year, my main fundraiser is going to be a cornhole/bags tournament on Saturday, June 3rd at Maplewood Park! I hope you'll join us for a fun excuse to get together. A team should consist of at least two people. Feel free to create more than one team per family.

Standard cornhole/bags rules will apply and I will send out some quick rules prior to the fundraiser. We will create a bracket and the winning team will keep playing/advancing until we have an overall winner.

Please fill out this google form to enter your team(s). https://forms.gle/LCuKW1U6aBHbuZn77

Food and drinks will be provided. Teams are encouraged to wear purple or dress in a theme.

Please invite your family and friends. The more, the merrier!

We are suggesting a $40 donation per team.

Tourney will take place at Maplewood Park (across the street from the Schuldt residence).

Stand up to the darkness of Alzheimer's by joining us for our fundraiser or making a donation to help the Alzheimer's Association support all those facing the disease.

Thank you for all of your support and love.
