Clayton & Crume x Bike4ALZ
by Jeff Arsenault •
"Bike4Alz was started to honor my late grandfather, Barrett Cummings. As a kid, I'd always admired my grandfather. He took me to school every morning, helped my parents build their first home, served as a deacon in his church and was a fight fighter in the military."
– Tyler Jury, Bike4ALZ founder and Clayton & Crume Co-founder
Shortly after Tyler began his studies at Western Kentucky University, his grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Although he couldn’t slow the devastating progression of his grandfather’s disease, Tyler was determined to do something to help.
Tyler recruited his friends to bike 3,200+ miles from coast-to-coast to raise money to end Alzheimer’s. Eleven years later and over $500,000 raised for Alzheimer’s Research, we are proud to sponsor Bike4Alz Team Eleven on their 3,600 mile trek from San Francisco to Virginia Beach!
The desire Tyler has to play a part in ending Alzheimer's continues to live on today through his undergraduate fraternity – Phi Gamma Delta (FIJI) at Western Kentucky University.
We couldn't be more proud to say that five current full-time Clayton & Crume employees are former participants of Bike4Alz. Including our seasonal staff, over a dozen Bike4Alz participants have worked with us, which is why we wanted to play a special part this year.
We’re raising funds to end the fight against Alzheimer’s disease.
