#RIDE4ALZHEIMERS will be a groundbreaking 10-day motorcycle sidecar tour of Washington state to raise awareness for Alzheimer's.

My dad, Don Reddington, was diagnosed with Alzheimers 3 years ago. He has talked openly about his disease since day one and has been driven to share with the world what it is like to live with Alzheimer's. He wants to help everyone affected by this disease to understand and accept, instead of rejecting and hiding from it in shame and fear. As my dad has said, "It is out of our control but we can manage this disease, still live with enjoyment, ADVENTURE and love.

My dad is an inspiration to me. My passion for motorsports, the outdoors, and adventure come from him. So, what better way to keep the ADVENTURE going than for us to take a memorable 10-day tour of Washington state this summer in a motorcycle side car. We will depart for this trip July 4th from Twisp, WA, during the town's annual Independence day parade. We will make stops in Bellingham, Seattle, Olympia, Yakima, Spokane and finish at Pybus Market in Wenatchee, WA. In each of these communities, we will attend an organized Alzheimer rally where families and those living with Alzheimers can gather to help spread awareness and help find an end to Alzheimer's.

Together, riding side by side around the state, my dad and I will make a powerful statement about pursuing life with Alzheimer's, the opportunities open to everyone affected by the disease and the importance of living an enjoyable and respected life. Help us make this journey of a lifetime possible! We need funds for hospitality, fuel (for our bellies and bike) and to assist with media support. Any love and support we can get will be greatly appreciated. Money raised over our goal will be donated to the Washington State Alzheimer's Association.
