Help Create a World Without Alzheimer’s

"A difficult but doable challenge"

On Saturday, July 24, Caring Companion Connections will join hundreds of others at the Alzheimer’s Association Memory Ride, as we work toward our commitment to a world without Alzheimer’s disease. The Memory Ride generates awareness and raises money for Alzheimer’s research.  We hope you will join the fight with a pledge.  Any amount helps. Don’t think it doesn’t matter; individually, none of us can cure Alzheimer’s disease – but together, we will. Click here to donate.

CCC will sponsor a rider (that’s me!) for the 100-mile ride. It will be a difficult but doable challenge, just as curing Alzheimer’s is a difficult but doable effort. We hope that you will also rise to the challenge and join with us and others by donating now so that the later years of our large aging population can be ever richer.

90% of money raised by Memory Ride participants funds grants awarded through the Alzheimer’s Association’s research grants program. 10% of the proceeds stay in Massachusetts and New Hampshire to help fund programs and services that assist families affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

As a home care agency on the front lines of elder care, CCC focuses on wellness and on improving the lives of our clients and their families. We daily see first-hand how many of our clients and their families have been affected by Alzheimer’s disease. We are committed to helping our clients live each day to its fullest, and to improving the lives of their families.  Please join us in this important effort.

Dear CCC, Great article. Are you doing the walk in Sept? Want to discuss a plan to do something together with articles ahead of time? Linda

Hi Linda,

We haven’t made specific plans yet on the walk but obviously it’s on our radar screen. For next year’s ride, we hope to assemble a team and to raise even more money.

We’d love to invite you to author a guest blog post. Your recent presentation the Sudbury lirbrary was excellent.

Jim Reynolds
CEO
