Alzheimer's Association

This November, I’m putting down the razor and taking on No Shave November in memory of my dad, Gary DiStefano. My dad faced dementia with all the strength he had. Watching someone you love fight this disease is a heavy burden—one that far too many families are forced to carry every single day. Every itchy day I spend growing out this beard is a small reminder of a much bigger mission: bringing us closer to a world without Alzheimer’s. Why Your Support Matters Today I have set a goal to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association of Central/North Florida. This incredible team works tirelessly on two critical fronts: Accelerating Research: Funding national, groundbreaking studies to find better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Family Care & Resources: Providing hands-on support, counseling, and direct guidance for local families actively navigating a dementia diagnosis. How You Can Help Right Now We can’t bring my dad back, but together, we can change the story for the next family. I need your help to hit our goal. Here is how you can make an immediate impact: Donate whatever you can: Whether it’s $10, $25, or $100, every single dollar goes directly to work fighting this disease. Share this page: Even if you can’t donate right now, sharing this link on Facebook, Instagram, or via text helps us reach people who can. Your gift isn’t just a contribution—it’s a tribute to my dad’s memory and a lifeline for families who need hope right now. Thank you for standing with me, supporting this cause, and helping us end Alzheimer's for good.
