My Memories are Everything climbs are to raise awareness and research
money for Alzheimer's Disease. My mom, Ida, passed away from Alzheimer's in 2009.
Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the United
States, with another person newly diagnosed every 69 seconds. It affects more than
5 million people in the United States and over 25 million worldwide. The burden on
families and family caregivers are significant both personally as well as financially.
With our aging population, these issues are increasing dramatically. Today, there
is no reliable method of early detection and no cure. And there is hope with research.
100% of your donations got to your selected non-profit and none to Alan,
his climbing expenses or supporters.

The Alzheimer's Immunotherapy Program of Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy and Pfizer Inc. funded my climbs for the 7 Summits campaign and will continue to fund my ongoing campaign efforts. All money I raise from donations goes directly to the organizations I have selected. Click here to find official information about the campaign. As of November 9, 2010, content posted here is my own but subject to certain limitations in conjunction with the support of the AIP.
The Cure
Alzheimer's Fund is supported by private grants thus allowing 100% of your donations
to go directly to Alzheimer's research.
