Bring an End to Alzheimer's! More than 5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's and that number is rising. In addition to the emotional toll, this year Alzheimer's will cost the United States $236 billion, and unless we find a cure or way to slow it's progression, that cost is expected to become to over $1 trillion by 2050. Your donation supports the research to crack the code and hopefully save millions in future generations.

My father passed away of Covid-19 on January 2, 2021. As a child growing up, he instilled in all of us the responsibility to give back locally and have passion for those charities that mean the most to us. We all need a little help sometime, it is up to each of us to give back when we can. Please join me in raising funds to the charities that meant the most to him.

Pause to step away from your desk and focus on your mind, body, and spirit by giving back to a passion. This in conjunction with the CSIG Passion Pause: 10K Mile Challenge.

October 23 is our wedding day. In place of the traditional wedding registry, we ask our guest to donate to a charity of their choosing or to our wedding fund, celebrating the lives of both our dad's who left this earth in 2021 and our passion charity of LLS. Although our dads never met each other in person, we like to think they are both sitting on a golf course somewhere in heaven talking about hockey, beer and watching over us every day. This fund includes: Alzheimer's Association (Wendee's Dad), SPCA of Wake County (Mike's Dad) , and Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (Mike and Wendee)

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the North Carolina and an 161% increase in deaths since 2000. There are approximately 5 million Americans living with the disease and one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer’s or another dementia. Between 2000 and 2018, deaths from Alzheimer’s has increased 146%. In terms of caregiving, there are more than 16 million caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias in the United States. The caregivers provide $18.6 billion hours of unpaid care, a contribution to the nation valued at more than $244 billion. In 2020, Alzheimer’s disease will cost the United States $305 billion. This number is projected to rise to more than $1.1 trillion in 2050. Event The world may look a little different right now, but one thing hasn’t changed: our commitment to ending Alzheimer’s. This year, Walk to End Alzheimer’s is everywhere – on sidewalk, track and trail. Raleigh, NC will walk on Saturday, October 10, 2020. Your health and safety are our top priorities. We won’t have a large in-person gathering – instead, we invite you to walk in small teams of friends and family while others in your community do the same. Because we are all still walking and fundraising for the same thing: a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Every dollar you donate will help the Alzheimer’s Association provide care and support to all those facing Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Together, we can end Alzheimer’s. Please consider supporting Cisco’s efforts with a donation. Thank you for your support! #ASN #WeAreCisco #WalktoEndAlzheimers Have Questions?
