Hello! My name is John Downing and I am a sophomore from Bowling Green, KY studying accounting at Western Kentucky University!

I heard about Bike4Alz while in high school from guys on past rides that went to my same high school. Ever since then, it has been something that I have been interested in doing, and I am excited to be a part of Ride 8!

I am riding for the ones affected by this disease and the families suffering along with them. I had a family member that had Alzheimer’s and saw the suffering she went through from forgetting her daily activities, her friends, and even forgetting me. This is exactly why I want to ride.

I am blessed to be a part of this opportunity to ride for the members of families that experience this horrible disease each and every day. I am riding to remember the loved ones this disease has taken. I am “riding for a cure!”
