Around the World for Dementia Awareness

Who I Am

Hello, my name is Kyle Garibaldi, an engineering student from the University of Oklahoma. This summer marks a new chapter as I begin an internship with United Airlines in Chicago. This exciting opportunity brings an unexpected gift—the chance to fly stand-by to destinations around the globe, fulfilling a once-in-a-lifetime dream to circumnavigate the earth.

The Inspiration Behind the Journey

A family member planted the seed of this global adventure in my mind, and it quickly blossomed into a determined quest. With most of my journey being facilitated by stand-by flights through my internship, I am personally covering the leg from London to Sydney. It's a symbol of my dedication to both the journey and the cause close to my heart: dementia awareness.

The Personal Touch

The fuel behind my mission is my grandfather, a remarkable man who now faces the daily struggles of dementia. His experience, our family's journey alongside him, galvanizes my commitment to shine a spotlight on this condition that touches so many lives silently.

The Mission

As I traverse continents and cross oceans, my aim is to elevate the conversation about dementia, engage with communities, and support the vital research and care needed for those affected.

Commitment to the Cause

Each mile I travel is a testament to my commitment, as I've ensured that my personal expenses are kept to a minimum thanks to my travel perks. The cost of my London to Sydney flight is the only significant expense I've taken on. My goal is to ensure that every dollar donated goes directly to dementia research and support services.
