Hi, we’re the Sanders + Lees, and our family has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Debbie (Emilie’s mother and the kids’ nana) was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at just 60 years old and fought for nearly 11 years. Debbie’s father, Lee Norton, battled vascular dementia.

Throughout Debbie’s Alzheimer’s journey, we did what we could to fight this disease for her and for others. Emilie, her husband, and 2 daughters moved from place to place and fought for her along the way. For years, we volunteered with the Alzheimer’s Association and advocated, and we even created a community via @talktoendalz that simultaneously provided updates about our mom and shared information about this devastating disease.

Although Debbie is now free, there are millions of Americans who are still touched by this disease.

We’re asking for your support. No one should have to experience this tragic disease.

So many families are affected and so few receive help because they can't afford it. Our future is at risk unless we can find a way to change the course of this disease. The end of Alzheimer's disease starts with all of us.

So, we’ve made Norton tees to continue our journey of fundraising and spreading awareness to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.

Please consider purchasing a Norton tee or make a donation directly to help the Alzheimer's Association advance research into methods of treatment, earlier diagnosis, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
