This year, my family is participating in the longest day to honor our dad, who passed away from Alzheimer's on September 22nd. We are participating in The Longest Day to raise funds and awareness for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

The Longest Day is the day with the most light - the summer solstice. On June 21, thousands of participants from across the world come together to fight the darkness of Alzheimer's through a fundraising activity of their choice. Will you join the fight with a donation today?

Alzheimer's disease has touched so many lives, maybe even yours. But you can help. With your donation families can receive support on their Alzheimer's journey, promising research can advance toward a future without Alzheimer's and lives can - and will - be changed.

Your donation means so much, to myself and to all those affected by the disease. On behalf of more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer's and over 11 million caregivers - thank you.
