On Thanksgiving, George and I will enjoy a meal with family and share what we're thankful for this year.

But I want to get one in before we dig into the turkey and mashed potatoes. So thank you ... thank you for helping us grow UsAgainstAlzheimer's into a powerful machine to fight this senseless, cruel disease.

We started from scratch, with little more than vision and a heart still reeling from the loss of my mom. Now, we've built six distinct networks and two national and international coalitions. We reach tens of millions globally, and we actually have a plan to achieve a cure.

Life really is a gift. So is foresight. We know what's coming at us and, together, we can stop it. We will.

So please, cherish this holiday season. Hug your loved ones. Keep them close. And let's keep fighting to stop this ugly disease.

Thanks for being in this with us. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving filled with laughter and pie. Lots of pie.

Trish
