HearingLife provider Jane Heath participated in the Alzheimer's Association Ride to End ALZ in South Carolina this month. The 3-day ride was 255 miles and has raised over a million dollars so far.

“I originally started riding this ride 10 years ago for a very dear friend who was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's when he was 49 years old. He lost his battle after 11 years. I've continued to ride for a cure because I have seen firsthand how untreated hearing loss may be associated with the progression of this brutal disease,” says Jane.
