Why I Ride: Alzheimer’s affects so many lives, and although there is no cure at this point, there is a lot of promising research on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's.
I am riding this year to raise awareness about Alzheimer's (https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/what-is-alzheimers), let people know about resources available for caregivers (https://www.alz.org/help-support/caregiving), and raise funds to help continue important Alzheimer's research (https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/research_progress/our_commitment).
Many of us have a personal connection. My partner's mom, Pure (the inspiration for our team name 'Pure Pinoy Power') has Alzheimer's, and my grandmother Ellyn, who passed away in 2005, had it as well.
I know that there are many important causes close to our hearts, so no judgement if you are not able to contribute. However, if are able to donate, THANK YOU! And if you are interested in joining our riding team, please reach out to me. We'd love to have you on our team! Let's work together to continue the fight to end Alzheimer's.
Cheer Me On!
