Sheri died with the disease three years later. Greg and Patti decided they wanted to help find a way to end this disease. Through their company, they became a local sponsor for Walk to End Alzheimer’s and encouraged others to join them.

Her mother started to notice that Sheri would lose things. like her keys or her purse. After a visit to the emergency room and further testing, it became clear that Sheri—at the age of 57—had younger-onset Alzheimer’s.

Sheri loved to read, watch television, go on walks and dance. She worked at the same job for 17 years and loved her routine. In her 20s, Sheri participated in the Special Olympics in California, where she received a silver medal.

When Greg’s sister, Sheri, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he and his wife, Patti, didn’t have any experience with the disease. They were both surprised to learn how common Alzheimer’s is in people who have Down syndrome. 🧵

At the Alzheimer’s Association, we believe that engaging diverse perspectives is critical to achieving health equity. All communities should have a fair and just opportunity for early diagnosis and access to risk reduction and quality care. #ENDALZ.

Last year, Laura rode solo in the Ride to End ALZ Minnesota to honor her grandma, crossing the finish line “in tears… full of pride, grief, gratitude, and purpose.” She raised over $1,500 and was overwhelmed by the financial and emotional support she received.

“My grandma was the brightest, kindest person in any room—a foundational mentor in my most formative years and someone who shaped nearly every part of who I am today. While she's still with us physically, we've lost many parts of her as Alzheimer’s has slowly stolen her memories

On #InternationalMahJongDay, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible impact of Mah Jongg for Memories and the 58 teams with thousands of players who are crakking to help #ENDALZ!

That year, Mah Jongg for Memories was born. It raised $30K in its first year. This year alone, the team has raised $233K (and counting) as a 2025 Silver National Team. And since its inception, the team has raised over $750K to support Alzheimer’s care, support and research. 💜

In 2019, while volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association, Jenelle heard about #TheLongestDay. “It hit me that Mah Jongg players are generous and hardworking. What could be a better fundraiser for The Longest Day?”

“I learned to play Mah Jongg 🀄 12 years ago, shortly after my husband passed away. The focus and the friendships that I made really served to carry me through a very dark time.”

After losing her husband to early onset Alzheimer’s, Jenelle Schatz was searching for a way to heal. She found it in an unexpected place—around a Mah Jongg table. 🧵
