Our family is one of the more than 6.7 million American families impacted by Alzheimer's and dementia. My father, Stan Wessler, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's several years before his death. My father was a wonderful dad, grandfather and he was an accomplished physician who was a leader in his field. 

And now Alzheimer's is impacting the next generation as my brother Steve was just diagnosed last year. He is managing well, making plans to teach his next college class in Bar Harbor this spring. 

By brother's diagnosis is a sobering reminder that Alzheimer's is unrelenting. We have to do everything to speed up treatments.

We are at such a vital time in the history's of Alzheimer's research. We have now entered the "Age of Treatment", with 2 FDA disease modifying approved drugs in the past two years and more on the horizon. We continue to advance scientific research while working to ensure broad access to approved treatments 

We need to break the grip of Alzheimer's. Proceeds from the ride support the research program of the Alzheimer's Association, the largest private nonprofit funder of dementia research in the world. 

Your support helps us to reclaim the future; that new generations will not know the ravages of Alzheimer's.

I so appreciate your generosity. Thank you!

Jim
