My name is Ayden Sandefur. I am a junior in Phi Gamma Delta at Western Kentucky University. I was introduced to Bike4Alz my freshman year, and since then my passion for the organization has only grown. I am serving alongside Manny Summers-Bates as the Social Media/Public relations position for Team 15. Leading up to and throughout the ride, we plan to stay connected with the community and raise awareness through our social media pages. I hope that by doing Bike4Alz, I can do my part in making a difference.
My reason for doing Bike4Alz is my Grandmother. My grandmother was diagnosed with early-onset dementia when I was a freshman in high school, and over the years, I watched someone who meant the world to me slowly change. She helped raise me and was one of the closest people in my life. Seeing her lose her memories was heartbreaking. After she passed away last year, I knew I wanted to do something bigger than myself in her honor and help other families facing the same fight. I want to honor my grandmother while helping raise awareness and donations for Alzheimer's research. Thank you for supporting us and being part of this mission!
