It is hard for me to believe it has been nearly eight years since early onset Alzheimer's took my mother, Lynn Copelan, from our family at the young age of 72. I have dedicated my efforts to honor her legacy by helping lead the charge for this event and I am proud to say that through the enormous generosity of so many friends, colleagues, and family members I have personally raised nearly $15,000 through the years.
I hope you will join me in my commitment to raising awareness and funds for Alzheimer's research, care and support. You can support my efforts by making a donation or joining my team and walking with me on November 8, 2025.
More than 6 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer's. Seventy-three percent are age 75 or older. About 1 in 9 people age 65 and older (10.7%) has Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's begins 20 years or more before memory loss and other symptoms develop. The time is now to act - let's support those who are already suffering and protect ourselves, our children and future generations from this devastating disease.
