FIVE SEASONS LATER and we are still rocking and rolling for The Longest Day! Thanks to you (yes, YOU), my team has raised nearly $4,500 in our first four years, and I'd like to make season five the best one yet (unlike New Girl).

In the spirit of dreaming big, I've upped my goal to $2,000 and I'm calling on my fabulous friends and family to take on the challenge once again!

With every like, share and donation of any amount, you are fueling our fight to end this devastating disease. While there is a certain heartache that comes with losing a loved one to dementia, participating in The Longest Day has helped me continue to heal through positive and meaningful action. Five years of love and light poured into my work, and I know my Grandpa John has the biggest grin and a "holy smokes" to say about it.

Dementia may try to steal our light, but the strength of our love will always shine the brightest. Thank you for sharing yours with me.
