Positive and inspiring were the buzz words of the evening when we held our first fund raising event at Circa in Manhattan Beach in April.  We thank you all for your generosity and support.  It was a wonderful evening of connection and conversation in support of creating awareness for Early Memory Loss.  We were honored to have Susan Galeas, CEO of The Alzheimer’s Association, Southland Chapter to welcome our official launch and speak to the group. 

Speaking of launches!  The videos of the Carpe Kilimanjaro project start launching their stories tonight at midnight!  Gary and I each participated in these videos and we cannot wait to see this project unfold.  Please go to the link below and “LIKE” their page in support of their mission below.  Let’s give them our “Likes” and get the word out to help them create a ruckus of attention for Alzheimer’s awareness.  LB

The Carpe Kilimanjaro Project sets out to build the world’s largest repository of Alzheimer’s stories.  The film, website, and mobile experience address the three main challenges facing the Alzheimer’s community:

  1. Remove the stigma and build community
  2. Raise more money for research
  3. Get more people into clinical trials
The project provides patients, caregivers, and the scientific community with an unprecedented view of key data patterns and personal stories, in an effort to move more swiftly toward a cure.
