Alzheimer's Association

In honor of my mother, Sidney Wagner, my brother and I are asking for remembrance of her be given to help fight the horrible disease that stole her memories, then took her life, Alzheimer's Disease. All donations given will be 100% matched by me. We can't bring Mom back, but we can donate to find a cure so others will no longer have to suffer.

Hi Friends and Family,

Many of you know I am a huge long-distance runner, and I am excited to share I am running the Eugene Half Marathon on April 26th to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association. This organization is dear to my heart because my grandmother had Alzheimer's, and I saw firsthand how difficult living with the disease is on both the affected as well as the caregivers.

The Alzheimer's Association is doing incredible work supporting caregivers, those affected by Alzheimer's, and all other dementia with resources such as monthly support groups.

They also are the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's and dementia research, and doing incredible work to accelerate research focused on new methods of diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.

Please help me by supporting my fundraising campaign, RUN TO END ALZHEIMER'S. You can learn more about their work in the 2024 Annual Report.

My name is Jason Moritz. Last year, both my great aunt Franny and my dad Mike died from dementia’s complications. To honor them and others with the disease, I’m again biking the last leg of RAGBRAI (see link below) on July 26. In 2023, I raised $1,600 for the United Way of the Quad Cities in memory of my cousin Tom. This year, please help me raise over $2,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association (also below). Thank you!

Hello from Jen & Andy White. This is a memorial fund for our mother, Patricia Elizabeth White & Leroy Allen White, in lieu of flowers to help fund Alzheimer’s research to help find a cure. They were both born in 1941 and passed away a little over a month apart in early 2025.

Alzheimer’s is very difficult for the person affected as well as for the families/caregivers. Mom & Dad both helped our maternal grandmother Hazel and then unfortunately our mother Pat was also affected by this horrible disease. Several years after our mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's; Covid caused frontal lobe dementia to our father Lee.

We know they would greatly appreciate this donation to memorialize them and would be smiling to know you cared enough to help other families affected by dementia.

We thank you on behalf of Pat & Lee White and our family.

Jen & Andy

Dear Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart but also with hope and determination. As many of you know, my beloved mom has been bravely facing the challenges of Alzheimer’s disease. This journey has been incredibly difficult for her and for all of us who love her. Watching the woman who was once the smartest person I knew struggle with memories and recognition has been one of the hardest experiences of my life.

Throughout her life, my mom has been a beacon of light, touching the lives of countless individuals through her passion for education and her deep love of family. She has always been there to support and uplift others, and now it’s my turn to honor her legacy in a meaningful way.

That’s why I am starting a foundation dedicated to supporting Alzheimer’s research. This cause is incredibly important to me, and I believe that by contributing to research, we can help find better treatments and ultimately a cure for this devastating disease. I want to ensure that no one else has to endure the pain of losing a loved one to Alzheimer’s.

I invite you to join me in this mission. Your contributions, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. Together, we can help advance research and bring hope to families affected by this illness. Every dollar raised will go directly to organizations focused on innovative research initiatives aimed at understanding and combating Alzheimer’s.

Thank you for considering supporting this cause that is so close to my heart. In honor of my mom and all those affected by Alzheimer’s, let’s work together to create a brighter future.

With gratitude and love,

Greg Coverdale

The TN Tau Chapter of SAE at the University of Tennessee at Martin is having our 2025 Paddy Murphy Week from March 10-14. We're raising as much money as we can for the Alzheimer's Association, so any donation helps!

We are high school students who attend north Broward preparatory school and we founded the Alzheimer’s Student Support Organization—to take action. Our mission is to raise funds for critical Alzheimer’s research and donate to the Alzheimer’s Association, supporting advancements in treatment, care, and ultimately, the search for a cure.

Our School Care Fair Market is raising funds for a variety of charities during our Care Fair. We are selling handmade products, including crafts, artwork, and baked goods, to support these important causes. Every purchase helps make a difference in the lives of those in need, fostering kindness and generosity in our community.

This is the fundraiser set up for the Alzheimer's Association by the Alzheimer's Coalition! Every dollar goes towards saving lives and lessening the destructive impact of this disease on communities. All money donated here goes straight to the Alzheimer's Association, the leading advocacy group for AD.

Riding Through the Darkness

Mike McCarthy’s life has been defined by his unwavering commitment to family, football, and fostering the success of others. His journey began at Crawfordsville High School in Indiana, where his skill and determination earned him All-State honors in 1963 as a standout running back. This achievement launched him to the University of Cincinnati, where he played running back, contributing to pivotal victories and forming lifelong bonds with teammates like future NFL coach Tom Rosley.

After his playing days, Mike transitioned into coaching, where his impact was profound. At Troy High School in Ohio, he mentored athletes like Randy Walker, who would go on to lead Northwestern University to a Big Ten Championship, and Gordon Bell, who set records at the University of Michigan and played in the NFL. Later, as head coach at McCutcheon High School in Lafayette, Indiana, Mike built a winning program and led the team to an impressive 10-2 record in 1976, creating a foundation of excellence that persists today.

Beyond football, Mike was a devoted husband to Debbie, whom he met during his time at the University of Cincinnati, and a dedicated father to his three children: Patrick, Shaun, and Dan. He was always there—driving family and friends across the country, coaching youth sports, and cheering at scholastic events. His influence extended to his six grandchildren: Lola, Stella, Scarlett, George, Leo, and Declan. Whether it was taking family and friends on unforgettable trips to Michigan or building confidence in young athletes, Mike’s legacy is one of unwavering support, mentorship, and love.

Now, as Mike faces the challenges of Alzheimer’s, we are determined to honor his life and the incredible impact he has had. This January, 22nd as he turns 79, I will ride 8,000 meters a day for 31 days—a total of nearly 250,000 meters. The significance of 8,000 meters reflects his resilience and strength, and it symbolizes the year ahead as he approaches his 80th birthday. This challenge represents not only the perseverance my dad has shown throughout his life but also the ongoing fight against Alzheimer’s—a disease that affects so many families.

We are partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org, and all funds raised will go toward advancing research and providing resources for families affected by Alzheimer’s. The challenge reflects the resilience my father has shown throughout his life—a testament to never giving up, even in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

I invite you to join me in honoring my dad and countless others affected by this disease. Whether you contribute to the fundraiser, share the story, or cheer me on, every gesture makes a difference. Together, we can bring hope to those living with Alzheimer’s and their families.

Let’s ride through the darkness and fight for a brighter future.
