You Can Help Make Memory Loss History

👨‍⚕ My Papa was a pediatrician for over 50 years—a gentle force of good in this world. He didn’t seek the spotlight, but his quiet strength and lifelong dedication to others continue to inspire me every day.

🥺 We lost him to dementia. Watching this brilliant man fade was one of the hardest experiences of my life.

🧠 Today, I’m channeling my love and grief into purpose—by partnering with the incredible University of Chicago’s Healthy Aging & Alzheimer’s Research Care (HAARC) Center team to raise funds for a groundbreaking clinical trial aimed at slowing the progression of dementia and, ultimately, finding a cure.

💰 Fundraising Goal: $11,111 is a number that reminds us everyone impacted by dementia is—or was—someone’s #1.

🚨 This isn't just another fundraiser. It's personal. It's urgent. It's a chance to change the story for millions of families.

⏩ Will you join us? Whether you donate, share, or simply cheer us on, you’re helping move the science—and hope—forward.

🏃 Let’s build a future where no one has to say goodbye like we did.
