Join hundreds of riders from across the country at the
15th annual Memory Ride for Alzheimer’s Research, and cycle 11, 20, 30, 62, or 100 miles for a cure to end Alzheimer’s disease.

The Noonan family, whose story was featured in PBS’s Emmy-winning series, “The Forgetting,” struggled with multiple cases of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease within their immediate family over several generations. Hoping to save other families from experiencing this devastation, the Noonan’s founded the Memory Ride for Alzheimer’s Research.

Over the past 14 years, Memory Ride has raised over $2.3 million to fund critical Alzheimer’s disease research, through the Alzheimer’s Associations research grants program.  Many in the research community believe the ability to treat or even prevent Alzheimer’s disease may be possible in the next decade with continued funding for research.
