Why I Ride: I lost my maternal grandparents, my Papa and Noni, Mike and Connie Vitale, to Alzheimer's and dementia. These diseases are horrible... Horrible to those affected, horrible to caregivers, horrible to family and friends.

This is why I am asking for your support. Right now, there is no shortage of ideas in Alzheimer’s research — only dollars. I am participating on the Ride to End ALZ®, a fully-supported, premier cycling event that supports the Alzheimer’s Association’s efforts to discover methods of treatment and prevention for Alzheimer’s disease. Every dollar raised through the Ride to End ALZ goes straight to research.

Thank you for cheering me on and thank you for your support to help #endALZ and find a cure!
