Why We Ride: Team Bucknell participated in the inaugural Ride to End Alz - Washington DC, in May 2022, had a great time, and raised over $12,000 for Alzheimer's Research.   Our small team only had 4 riders:   Eric Allgaier '82, Laurence Richard P '06, Kit Allgaier '17, and Don Harris '82).  

We increased to 12 riders for the 2023 ride and raised $37,585 for Alzheimer's - we were the number one Friends and Family Fundraising Team!  We expect to greatly increase our participating and fundraising in the 3rd year of the ride!  

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. More than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and over 11 million are acting as their caregivers. 

We are going the distance for all those affected while raising funds and awareness to advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer’s. 

Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer’s research — only dollars. But together, we can help change that. 100 percent of the funds raised from this event will go toward the Association’s efforts to discover methods of treatment and prevention for Alzheimer's and other dementias. 

Alzheimer’s touches all of us, and it will take all of us to end it. Please join our team or donate today.
