My ALZ Story

When I was a journalist, I was asked to write a story about Alzheimer's. I didn't know much about the disease then. But after researching it, I felt the best way to tell the story was to interview people who were suffering from it and the caregivers who were with them every step of the way.

The experience was heart wrenching. Those I interviewed were forgetting their loved ones and cherished memories, everything they were, as each day went by. The toll on their caregivers was immense too. It's not fair. Now I fight Alzheimer's in the communities where I live and work. And after serving as the chairman for the Alzheimer's Association, Tennessee Chapter, for many years, I have a new commitment.

My $1M ENDALZ Pledge

In 2019, on my 40th birthday, I pledged to raise $200,000 for the Alzheimer's Association in 10 years. We crushed that goal in just 3.5 years. Now, my new pledge is to raise $1M lifetime by my 50th birthday. And I know we can achieve this goal together!

2012 --- $520
2013 --- $1,766
2014 --- $1,750
2015 --- $10,210
2016 --- $10,655
2017 --- $16,380
2018 --- $20,195
2019 --- $27,460
2020 --- $34,101
2021 --- $91,747
2022 --- $106,721
2023 --- $115,241

Lifetime Total: $436,756

We all deserve a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. And I'm not stopping until that happens. We're coming for you Alzheimer's ... it's time to #ENDALZ.
