This summer, I'm participating in 48 Peaks in honor of my mom, Barbara, who is currently living with dementia. 48 Peaks is a fundraising event to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.

I will be hiking Mt. Jackson, one of New Hampshire’s 4,000ft. peaks in the White Mountains, on June 8th. In the last two years, we have made monumental progress in the world of treatment against Alzheimer’s, including the first disease-modifying treatments. But, the fight is far from over. Today, over 50 million people across the world are living with Alzheimer, incluidos más de 6 millones con Alzheimer's y demencia, proporcionando más de $ 287 mil millones en atención no remunerada. Debemos tomar medidas ahora, ya que estos números continúan aumentando.

Juntos, podemos mostrar a aquellos que enfrentan la enfermedad de Alzheimer que no están solos. Por favor haga una donación hoy para ayudar a la Alzheimer's Association Apoyar a todos los que se enfrentan a la enfermedad. ¡Gracias!
