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.

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 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

Vestibular schwannomas, or acoustic neuromas, are tumors that grow on the nerves responsible for balance and hearing. In individuals with NF2, these tumors can be particularly challenging, often leading to hearing loss and balance problems. Let's raise awareness about the significance of vestibular schwannomas in NF2. By understanding their impact, we can better support those affected and work towards effective treatments. You can make a difference! Your donation can fund vital research into NF2 and vestibular schwannomas, bringing hope to individuals and families facing this rare disease. Donate now and join us in the fight against NF2: https://buff.ly/3SWE6OD https://buff.ly/4c35L9w Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a brighter future for NF2 patients. ?? #RareDiseaseDay #NF2Awareness
