Today, a very special young woman, Monique Ades, begins a journey that will take her over 2,700 miles along the Great Continental Divide Bike Route from Canada to New Mexico with her father, Mike, to raise Alzheimer's awareness and funds to help families affected by #Alzheimers. The Ride the Divide for Alzheimer's is in honor of Monique's great-grandfather, who lived with Alzheimer's disease. Read more about their incredible journey here.
