Friends and Colleagues , I hope that this finds you well and enjoying your summer! As I shared here in the last few weeks, I was diagnosed in early 2023 with early onset Alzheimer’s disease. I’m fighting like hell to stave off this disease! The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s is on September 28. I am fundraising with the Alzheimer’s Association to find a cure. Fact: In the US there are approximately 7 million people living with Alzheimer’s and by 2030 it is projected to be 8.5 million. I need your help meeting my fundraising goal of $7500. Please consider a donation toward a cure. All donations will be helpful and greatly appreciated! Below is a link to my Alz walk team site to donate and/or join our team for the walk. Also below are some facts and reasons to donate. https://lnkd.in/ebuhDPva Do you know someone who is living or lived with Alzheimer’s. Perhaps a beloved family member-a parent or grandparent, or a friend, neighbor or colleague? There is no proven way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s begins 20 or more years before memory lost. There is currently no cure. Ultimately, Alzheimer’s disease is fatal. Lifespan depends on age of diagnosis, other health conditions, lifestyle and treatments. People age 65 and older survive an average of four to eight years after a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s dementia, yet some live as long as 20 years.

Still time to donate and help me reach my goal! 1. **Prevalence**: Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-80% of dementia cases. It's estimated that over 6 million people in the United States are living with Alzheimer's. 2. **Progressive Nature**: Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and behavioral changes. Symptoms gradually worsen over time, often starting with mild memory problems and advancing to severe impairment. 3. **Risk Factors**: Age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's, with most people diagnosed being 65 or older. Other risk factors include genetics, family history, and certain health conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. 4. **Symptoms**: Early symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events, confusion about time or place, trouble understanding visual images, and problems with speaking or writing. As the disease progresses, individuals may experience severe memory loss, difficulty performing daily tasks, and changes in mood and behavior. 5. **Treatment and Management**: While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, treatments are available to help manage symptoms. Medications can temporarily improve or slow the progression of symptoms. Non-drug approaches, such as cognitive therapy, lifestyle changes, and support from caregivers, are also important in managing the disease.
?? A Purposeful Stride: Journeying Through Alzheimer's with Donna ?? Did it ever cross your mind that Alzheimer's could knock on your family's door? June brings this shadowy specter into the glaring daylight for Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness. Think of it: A beloved family member's history slowly evaporating, like morning dew under a relentless sun. That's precisely the odyssey my mother-in-law, Donna, is trekking, with us in tow. How do we react? We lace up our shoes of patience and press on, our hands clasped in unyielding support. This path is dotted with throes of grief, yet enriched by the purest love - a bitter-and-sweet reality binding us tighter than ever before. If there's one thing this journey has imprinted on our hearts, it's this: Cherish every moment. And dream of a world untainted by Alzheimer's. For Donna, I'm putting my best foot forward to raise funds for Alzheimer's research. We're a single donation away from a brighter tomorrow, a world where no family is marked by this ordeal. Will you join me? Every stride counts. ??♂??? https://lnkd.in/eFhTYE-M

It's not just grandma and grampa we need to save on National Donation Day. It's all of us! June 20th, The Longest Day, is the day with the most light and the day we fight! I shine a light on the fight to end Alzheimer’s for my wife, Beth Anderson, who I lost to this terrible disease at the age of 50, and those who are yet to be diagnosed.? Please partner with me on The Longest Day, June 20th; I’ll be running nine miles around Bachman Lake in honor of my wife, the six million Americans currently living with Alzheimer’s, and the eleven million people who provide unpaid care to Alzheimer's patients to raise vital research funds and awareness. I'm asking for your support by donating to my fundraiser at: ?https://lnkd.in/dExbwWRk. Last year, we had 100 people donate $50 to reach $5,000. This year, my goal is to get 120 people to contribute $50, for a total of $6,000. Here is our story:?https://lnkd.in/gqEkRaPp Alzheimer’s Facts: 1. 55 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer’s. 2. 1 in 3 seniors dies due to Alzheimer’s or another dementia. 3. 1 in 9 people aged 65 and older has Alzheimer’s. 4. Alzheimer’s kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. 5. Two thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women. 6. Eighty-three percent of the help provided to older adults in the U.S. comes from family members, friends, or other unpaid caregivers. 7. In 2023, Alzheimer’s and other dementias will cost the nation $345 billion, and by 2050 the cost is estimated to be $1 trillion.? #ENDALZ

I’m just over a week away from riding in my 24th consecutive Bike MS to support the National MS Society. My goal is to raise $10,000, and so far I have raised about $3,500. Although I don’t have a personal or family connection (that I’m aware of) to multiple sclerosis, I’ve met so many inspiring people over the years who live with MS that are the reason I continue to ride. Our goal in Bike MS is to raise money so that we can cure MS and enable those affected by MS to live their best lives. That’s why I am coming to you today. For those of you who may not know, Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects 1 million Americans and millions more worldwide. MS attacks the central nervous system comprised of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The immune system mistakenly attacks the myelin sheath around nerve cells, dusrupting the passage of nerve signals from the brain to the rest of the body. It’s kind of like a damaged electrical wire that causes short circuits. In this case it can lead to a whole host of symptoms like optic neuritis, fatigue, gait problems, balance issues, bladder control issues, with significant impairment if the disease progresses. Why am I asking for your donation? The National MS Society has led the worldwide effort to discover new drug therapies and enable physicians to diagnose MS faster so patients get on the right treatment regimen more quickly to slow or stop progress of MS. When I initially got involved in 2001, only a handful of MS drugs existed…today there are more than 20 that manage all forms of MS with more on the way…thanks to funds raised through Bike MS. We need your support to continue the momentum and propel us closer to a cure. Every donation you make - from $10 to $1,000 - will add up and make a difference. Supporting the cause will take no more than 5 minutes of your time, and it will make a huge impact in the lives of people living with multiple sclerosis. Thank you for your support to help stop MS in its tracks! https://lnkd.in/e-8fwcR6
I'm supporting National MS Society!
