Why Michael is Paying It Forward
We have chosen to donate a portion of our sales to the Alzheimer's Association in memory of my father, who bravely battled the illness for eight years before passing away in 2008. Witnessing firsthand how the disease not only affects the individual but deeply impacts the entire family, especially caregivers, we recognize the critical need for more research and early interventions. Grateful for the invaluable support and resources provided by the Alzheimer's Association during my father's journey, we are committed to giving back and aiding others facing similar challenges.
