Carrie Brennan is fundraising
Support Lewy Body Dementia Research for our Dad, Jim.
We are raising funds for LBDA (Lewy Body Dementia Association) in honor of my dad who passed away today. He struggled with his diagnosis for over two years with my mom as his sole caretaker. We saw the disease take away a once brilliant, genuinely great man. The hardest part was watching my mom grieve in real time as her husband lost himself and forgot the love that bonded them together for life.

The last six months were especially difficult, as he lost his strength and became immobile, leading to him being completely dependent on my mom for walking, bathing, and feeding. The goal of this fundraiser is to raise awareness of the disease and donate money to research in my father's name to honor his memory and my mom's selflessness during the hardest times.

Bomb Squad: Home Run Derby '23, Lewy Body Dementia
The Bomb Squad is back! Every year, our local softball league (SOMA Sport & Social) puts on a Home Run Derby to raise money for a charity. This year, the Bomb Squad - comprised this year of myself, Taylor Umlauf, Billy Blair, Kevin Worley, Anthony Dasti, Jeff Shubart, Jeff Blair and Mark Hall - has chosen to raise money for the Lewy Body Dementia Association (www.lbda.org).

Lewy Body Dementia is the second most common form of dementia after Alzheimer's, and an estimated 1.4 million Americans, including my father, are currently living with this disease. Those who suffer from it have recurrent visual hallucinations (often daily), vastly decreased mental function and escalating memory problems.

Every dollar you give supporting us hitting bombs will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness of the Lewy body dementias (LBD), supporting people with LBD, their families and caregivers and promoting scientific advances.

Feel free to share our fundraiser with friends & family - and thank you,

Cindy & the Bomb Squad

Our beloved father, husband, stepfather, and uncle, Steven Halpern, recently passed away after a long struggle with Lewy Body Dementia. Steve was an amazing person - a successful entrepreneur, an athlete, a multi-talented hobbyist, and most importantly a family man - whose life was cut short by this awful disease.

I’m having my Barmitzvah in Israel in December. We lost my Grandma Judy to Lewy Body Dementia in November. In honor of her, and all those that have been affected by this horrible disease, I’m raising money and awareness . Your Donation means so much.

Many Thanks

Justin Philo is fundraising
Poppy’s Fund

It’s been almost nine years since my father passed. There’s many things I miss about him but probably the most is I miss everything he taught me about sports and the healthy competition that went along with it. Well, I found a way to feel that competition one more time. In 1987, at the age of 41, my father finished a marathon in 3 hours and 55 minutes. In 2001, I finished a half marathon in 1 hour and 52 minutes. After completing it I turned to my dad and said that I beat him. If you took my time and multiplied by 2 you would get a time that beat 3:55. He looked at me and said “turn around and do that again and then talk to me”. Most of you know that he died of a rare disease called Lewy Body Demetria. Things in my life have settled and it’s time for me to get involved and help out in any way I can so other families don’t have to go through what we had to. Neurological diseases are becoming more and more common and breakthroughs seem to be close. All they need is funding. I will be running in the Fort Worth marathon on November 10th at the age of 42. I’m not the best runner and right now not tracking to come within 20 minutes but like my Father would say, “that’s why you practice”. Please help me in honoring not just his name but the life he lived.

REYNOLDS RELAY CATALINA SWIM
On August 5th, our relay team will attempt to swim 20 miles from Santa Catalina Island to the coast of California to raise awareness and funds for Lewy Body Dementia.

Frank Reynolds Sr. passed away in 2014 after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), a disease that affects an estimated 1.4 million people in the USA per year. LBD is a multi-system disease affecting cognition, movement and emotions, but not everyone experiences the same combination of symptoms.

Worldwide, around 50 million people have dementia, with nearly 60% living in low- and middle-income countries. Every year, there are nearly 10 million new cases.

Our marathon ocean swim team is in need of some funding to make this charity event successful. Your generous donation towards our efforts will be donated to http://lbda.org/ for vital research.

Please donate what you can, any amount is appreciated.

With gratitude
The Reynolds Relay Catalina Swim Team
