Over 25 years ago I lost my Grandma & Grandad Snyder to Alzheimer's. To this day treatment, preventatives, knowledge and medicine are STILL NOT where they should be! This July, Ben and I will be participating in Ride to End ALZ South Carolina, a unique 255-mile, cross-state journey for cycling enthusiasts who are passionate about ending Alzheimer's disease. Our mission is to raise the funds needed for the research, care and support efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.
This ride has been on my list to do for YEARS. As my Granddad Snyder might have said, I've been "bunged up." It's time for me to give it a shot! It's time to ride for them and ride for a better future for all the people and familes battling this disease. I hope I'll be able to ride each mile of each day. What I can promise you is my absolute best attempt, and if I'm not able to ride, I'll be cheering on the riders!!
We all know someone who has been affected by this terrible disease. I ride because I am inspired by the strength of the more than 6 million Americans living with this disease, and over 11 million family members and friends who provide them with care. I want to help speed up scientific progress toward better treatments and prevention.
Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer's research — only dollars. That's why I am asking for your support.
By participating in Ride to End ALZ South Carolina, I'm fueling support services and cutting-edge research to change the trajectory of Alzheimer's disease. Each dollar I raise helps advance research toward the first survivor of Alzheimer's and provide help for those facing dementia today.
Will you join me? Thank you for donating and cheering me on!
Cheer Me On!
