My name is Landon Terry, a sophomore at Western Kentucky University majoring in electrical engineering, science and math education, and mathematics with a concentration in teaching. I serve as the Lodging Coordinator for Bike4Alz Team 15. At WKU I am the Community Relations chair of the Student Government Association, an executive member of the National Society of Leadership and Success, and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers.
I was first introduced to Bike4Alz during my freshman year while rushing FIJI, and I immediately knew it was a cause I needed to pursue. I know this is an organization that I can strive in and this is where I can make an impact for all the people who are affected by Alzheimer's.
My passion for fighting Alzheimer's is deeply tied to my roots in my hometown. I was often inside Tell City’s retirement homes and memory care units and seeing people struggle with Alzheimer's and other forms of Dementia ruined me. I also had a family friend diagnosed with Dementia and watching her memory slowly decline and her personality slowly fade away was a deeply scarring experience. This is a cause I am deeply passionate to fight for.
With your help, we can make a real impact in finding a cure for this terrible disease. I am excited to connect with other people who have also been affected by Alzheimer's. My goal is that the rest of Team 15 and I can give hope to people who have been affected in similar ways and make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's.
