Ride to Remember

UFirst Proudly Sponsors...

The 18th Annual Ride to Remember

"...she thought of her mother's mind as if there were balloons floating inside and sometimes she grabs one. Sometimes she grabs them all and the stories come out." ~Candy Crowler, CNN Chief Political Correspondent (daughter of Alzheimer's parent).

The Ride to Remember is a charity motorcycle ride started by the Tobin Family in honor of their loving mother, Barbara Tobin, who passed away from Alzheimer's. To date, the Ride to Remember has raised over $245,000 to benefit the Third Age Adult Day Center at SUNY Plattsburgh and UFirst is proud to continue those efforts in partnership with the Tobin family.

Know the Facts!

Alzheimer's disease is a type of brain disease caused by damage to nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. The brain's neurons are essential to all human activity, including thinking, talking and walking. Although symptoms like memory, language or thinking problems are new to the person affected, it's said that the brain changes that cause them are thought to begin 20 years or more before symptoms start. Alzheimer's is progressive and gets worse over time, affecting a person's ability to perform everyday tasks like bathing, dressing, eating and more.

According to the alz.org

  • Nearly 7 million American's are living with Alzheimer's
  • 1 in 2 seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia
  • It kills more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined
  • Over 11 million American's provide unpaid care for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias
