I walk for my mom, Gayle Gerson, who has been living with Alzheimer's for nearly a decade. Her decline has been incredibly difficult to witness, but the hardest part now is that, even for me, it's hard to remember details about who she was before Alzheimer's. I'm walking (and riding) because memories matter, for those with Alzheimer's, and their loved ones. I want to do what I can to help preserve the memories of others, and one day end this terrible disease.

Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping and neither are we. By participating in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s, I’m raising funds and awareness to advance the fight against this disease — funds that allow the Alzheimer’s Association to provide 24/7 care and support while accelerating critical research.

Families facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia need us now more than ever — and with your help, we can be there for them. Please make a donation or register as a participant and start your own fundraising. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s disease. 

Thank you!
