Rotary at Work
A Worthy Cause
“I am passionate about CART for two reasons. First, we desperately need a cure/prevention for Alzheimer’s disease, and Rotary has the potential to make a difference. Rotarians in your district, and those around the world, each with a small commitment, could eradicate Alzheimer’s disease much like it has done for the eradication of polio. Second, Roger Ackerman the founder of CART. He was the brains, spirit, and passion behind CART. I am so committed to CART because I know that CART, like Roger, has a singular purpose for doing good. There is no other agenda other than making a difference for humanity.”
