Louise "Weezie" Peterson is Our Why.  Our mom battled Alzheimer's disease for over 15 years. She was a kindhearted, warm and loving woman who unfortunately passed in October, 2018.

She loved everything that life had to offer- time spent with family, close friends, nature's beauty. It was painful to watch this vibrant woman slowly disappear. When she was first diagnosed, my mother said that relationships were the most important thing in her life and now Alzheimer's was going to rob her of them. With Alzheimer's you lose a family member piece by piece.  

During her battle with Alzheimer's, Weezie may have forgotten people's names, where she was going or what she was doing but she always kept her gracious heart, her warm smile and her infectious laugh.

After watching her struggle with Alzheimer's, we committed ourselves to fundraising for this important cause. We wanted to do something bigger than ourselves to help raise funds for Alzheimer's care and research. What better way to honor this wonderful woman than to organize a wellness challenge that will hopefully help others create and strengthen healthy habits to reduce their risk for developing this dreadful disease and raise funds to put an end to the disease that took her life.

Thank you for taking part and making a difference.
