*** Important Announcements ***

The Ride For Alzheimer's joined the Alzheimer's Association CT Chapter to attend the Public Policy Forum in Washington, DC on March 23-25. This was an excellent opportunity to speak directly with our elected officials, and show them why Alzheimer's support needs to be considered a national healthcare priority. In the photo above, I'm meeting with none other than Maria Shriver, who is just terrific with her dedication to this cause. Click to visit the Public Policy Forum website.

I was honored to speak at the Stone Ridge Senior Living Community in Mystic, CT on May 9th. The presentation included highlights of the longest Ride For Alzheimer's ever, my 2100+ mile ride from San Francisco, CA to St. Joseph, MO. Former Pfizer researcher, Bob Nelson spoke about commonly available, yet oft-overlooked ways to help prevent Alzheimer's Disease. In the photo above, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney was kind enough to attend this event and take a photo with us. Also pictured: Trish Clark (L) from the Alzheimer's Association, and my wife, Donna (R).

This year's Ride For Alzheimer's is a 700 mile ride looping around Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, on the picturesque Blue Ridge Parkway from May 25 to June 6. My goal this summer is to raise $18,000. Would you please help me toward my goal?
