THE FIGHT
Rick Sharp was relentless in pursuing a goal. When he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, he channeled his innovation and dynamic spirit towards participating in finding a cure, and he inspired others to join him. Many of us have been touched by Alzheimer’s, and our organization is driven daily by the spirit of Rick and ask, “What would Rick do?”
We have been careful stewards of your philanthropy, carefully vetting and funding the scientists and research projects that will ultimately impact curing this relentless disease. We’ve provided over $3.5+ million in research grants.
Our work helps to support our partners who are – daily – performing the hard work and incredible research that will one day find a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease. Visit our Education Page to learn more about them.
