Alan will not just go to the cold continent to summit a mountain, but to raise awareness and money for Alheimer research:

Fundraising

Our goal is to raise $1 million dollars as people follow the climbs. Remember all donations go directly to Alzheimer’s research and none to Alan or to support the climbs. All donations are tax deductible in the US.

Here is how you can help:

• Make a flat rate donation per summit, $100 for example
• Make a one time donation for all the climbs anytime.
• Host Alan for a local fund raiser before, during or after the climbs.
• Bid on having a message sent via Twitter during the summit day for each climb
• Host an auction after each climb for a signed summit banner.

First was Memories are Everything: The Road Back to Mt. Everest – that raised $25,000 and now Memories are Everything: The 7 Summits Climbs for Alzheimer’s- a journey to raise $1 million dollars through climbing the 7 Summits.

While climbing is the activity, fund raising is the goal. 100% of your donations go directly to Alzheimer’s research, education and awareness! None go to Alan’s climbing expenses. I encourage you to read more about my partner, the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund and make your tax deductible donation today.

100% for research

So help where you can. Good luck and be safe Alan!
