Why We Ride:  Sam's wife, Donna, had fought Alzheimer's for over 6 years. She had often participated in the Walk to End Alzheimer's and supported Sam being in the Ride to End ALZ! Upon her death, Donna's Team was created. Some members of the team have an additional loved one that has or had Alzheimer's.

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.
