dear colleagues, friends and family,

It's been a challenging year, including diagnosis of alzheimer's disease even closer to home.  This year's effort will be dedicated to my father, who has been recently diagnosed. This is how I'll be doing to do my part to help find a cure.

New for this year, i've started a small team. It's called 'SKI TREK, NEXT GENERATION.' it's a play on star trek next gen. for those familiar with the TV series from the 90s, and how at least a couple of us on this team have been directly affected, and will now be carrying the torch for this disease.

By participating in this event, I've committed to raising awareness and funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®.  Currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk and we must come together to change the course of this disease.

Please support my efforts by making a donation. All funds raised benefit the Alzheimer's Association and its work to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's disease.  Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer’s disease!

I've kicked off the donations myself, but NOW I need YOUR help.  please give what you can, and thank you for contribution and support!

best, jhs
