For a donation of $250, the name and hometown of the person you want to honor — a current sufferer or someone you’d like to remember — will join us for the rest of the racing season, funding the care and funding the cure. Alzheimer’s afflicts 5.8 million Americans and over 50 million people worldwide, with tragic consequences for the individuals, families and societies grappling with its devastating effects. A degenerative brain disease, Alzheimer’s currently has no cure. However, enormous progress is being made toward understanding the nature and mechanisms of the disease; formulating new treatments and diagnostics; and providing effective and compassionate support for overwhelmed caregivers. Every day brings new hope. These promising new developments deserve our urgent, full-throttle help. The non-profit Racing to End Alzheimer’s Foundation is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the cutting edge research, treatment and support services that will end the scourge of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia once and for all.
