As many of you know my mother (Debbie), now 70, was diagnosed with Early On-set Alzheimer’s at 56 years old. Two years ago, my father (Paul Dougharty) signed up for the first ever Ride to End ALZ in Texas. He was riding in honor of his wife of 50 years! She was a brilliant woman, daughter, mother, grandmother, wife, teacher & librarian, who loved sharing her knowledge. While she is still with us in Memory Care she has lost her ability to speak, feed herself and walk. This disease has robbed her of her and our family of so much. It's a tragic disease. This year the whole family is involved, my nephew, Nicholas, who is 14 and shares a birthday with Mom, is riding!
With each mile we ride, we are raising funds to advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. We not only ride for Debbie but we ride for all of you who have or are working through this with a loved one. We ride for all!
We would love to have you DONATE and support us!
Last year Team Debbie raised $33,906!
And the Ride to End ALZ raised $531,000!
100% of Donations go to Alzheimer’s Research!
Any donation is appreciated!
Thank you for cheering us on!
