Alzheimer's Association Salutes Advocate and Mountaineer Now Climbing Everest as Part of The 7 Summits Climb for Alzheimer's
Date:5/10/2011

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy, together with its collaborator on the Alzheimer's Immunotherapy Program, Pfizer Inc., is pleased to announce the Alzheimer's Association™, the world's leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research, as a new beneficiary of The 7 Summits Climb for Alzheimer's: Memories are Everything campaign. Through this campaign, mountaineer and Alzheimer's disease advocate Alan Arnette is seeking to climb the 7 Summits, the highest peak on each continent, to raise awareness of the enormous financial and personal burden Alzheimer's places on people with the disease, their family caregivers and society, as well as to raise $1 million for the Alzheimer's community. Alan's highest and most challenging climb of the 7 Summits, Mt. Everest, is now underway.

Everest, the tallest peak in the world, is Alan's third climb of the 7 summits, after he successfully summitted Vinson Massif in Antarctica and Aconcagua in Argentina. Alan is attempting to reach the peaks of all 7 summits in one year, and if successful, will join just a small group of climbers who have accomplished this major feat. He will face challenges climbing Everest, including altitude sickness, hidden crevasses and the Khumbu Icefall – a slow moving river of unsteady ice with falling ice towers. Alan's inspiration for his challenging climbs is his mother, Ida Arnette, whom he cared for as she suffered from Alzheimer's, a devastating disease for which there's no cure, and ultimately passed away in 2009. The funds he raises will go directly to three leading nonprofit organizations: the Alzheimer's Association, the Cure Alzheimer's Fund™ and the National Family Caregivers Association (NFCA).

"We wish Alan the best as he attempts to climb the world's highest mountain for Alzheimer's disease," said Stef Heylen, MD, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Devel
