I have been an Alzheimer’s Advocate since 2007. I use my mountaineering, check speaking, and website to tell the story of my mom, Ida Arnette and our battle with Alzheimer’s Disease.
In fact, my annual coverage of Everest is part of my efforts to raise awareness and research money for Alzheimer’s non-profits. You can read more about Ida and our journey at this link.
Today, I’m asking that you join me in signing the Stop Alzheimer’s Petition. We must come together to stop this disease.
Later this spring, a coalition of Alzheimer’s activists is going to present this Petition to members of Congress. We are making a push to raise our numbers, and it would mean so much to me if you would sign the Petition today. When you stand with me and thousands of others today, Congress and the White House won’t be able to ignore the voices demanding they take real action against this terrible disease.
I signed for my mom, Ida, but it’s our collective voice that is more powerful than any one individual alone.
By signing this Petition, you’re partnering with USAgainstAlzheimer’s and dozens of other leading organizations in the Alzheimer’s community to support this national call to action.
So many others are fighting these battles with us, whether it’s caring for a loved one, advocating for more research funding or mobilizing communities to speak out and take action.
On behalf of Ida and our family, thank you for joining us in this fight.
Climb On!
Alan
