Why I Ride: I am riding to honor my father Bob Grausam who started showing signs of dementia back in 2012 and ultimately died from the disease in 2021. This disease not only robbed him of his memory but changed his behavior and his personality. I look forward to the day when our loved ones can grow old with the dignity that they deserve and their family, spouses and friends are not burdened with the constant care that this disease demands.
Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer’s research — only dollars. Which is why I am asking for your support. I am participating on the Ride to End ALZ®, a fully-supported, premier cycling event that supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s efforts to discover methods of treatment and prevention for Alzheimer’s disease.
With each mile I ride, I am raising funds to advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. Thank you for cheering me on.
Cheer Me On!
