The Ride For Alzheimer's is my cross-country bicycle ride to support the Alzheimer's Association. This summer I will ride my tenth long distance bicycle ride to raise funds for the CT Alzheimer's Association. Since 1999, over $125,000 has been raised due to contributions from hundreds of special people: friends, neighbors, colleagues, Pequot Cyclists and community organizations. This 500 mile ride from Portsmouth, New Hampshire to Washington, D.C. (August 16 to 26, 2008) will be a good way to celebrate a decade of the Ride For Alzheimer's. Riding as always with America By Bicycle, the #1 fully supported Bicycle Touring Company in America, I'm looking forward to a slightly shorter ride than 2007's 1450+ mile marathon down the West Coast.

My goal this summer will again be to raise $17,000 - we exceeded $18,600 in 2007! Would you please help keep us going?

This is a total non-profit effort on my part. My dear mother passed away at the age of 96, after suffering immeasurably with this cruel disease. My sister, Jeanne Warren in North Sullivan, ME (pictured here) was mom's caregiver (from 1993 to 2001) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and kept a full-time job at the same time. The Ride For Alzheimer's is my way of raising awareness in the community, state, and nation, that help and support are available for those affected. I could not do this without the help and support of my wife, Donna and the super sponsors listed here!

If you would like to reach me for any reason, click the "Contact" link above and email me. I urge everyone to support this cause. Alzheimer's Disease strikes a horrific blow to many families. I thank you all for your support and good wishes.
