Artist statement: My art quilt is dedicated to Ami Simms, who is the founder of the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. The Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative (AAQI) is an internet-driven, grassroots, totally volunteer effort to raise awareness and fund research through art. Ami founded the AAQI in January of 2006 because her mother has Alzheimer's disease. All profits are donated to Alzheimer's research. In two years, the AAQI has raised more then $157,000 for Alzheimer's research.

$1,000 PROMISE

Last fall I joined Ami in helping her raise awareness and funds to benefit Alzheimer's research. Making a promise to help raise $1,000 was a giant leap. Through Ami's efforts and my art quilts, I was able to meet my promised goal and raised $1,155 to date. My next goal is
to raise another $1,000.

SING WITH ONE VOICE

"Sing with One Voice" was created around the idea of "Alzheimer's: Forgetting Piece By Piece."

If we unite as a group - Sing with One Voice - to work towards causes such as finding a cure for Alzheimer's disease or cancer, we can make a difference.
