Help Us Fuel a Cure for ALZ
Our Alzheimer’s Story
Sean’s father, Stephen, lost his fight to ALZ in April of 2022. If you have watched a family member fight this disease, then you know just how devastating it can be. With this in mind, we want to help spread awareness and raise funds to help find a cure. This truck is a small way we can help. #ENDALZ

Fundraising & Giving Back
We donated a portion of profits from every job completed in June 2023, as well as from sales of ALZ Brock’s themed shirts, to the Vermont Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association’s The Longest Day. 79% of the funding they raise goes to caregiver resources and research.
Alzheimer’s in Vermont
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, upwards of 13,000 Vermonters have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia and more than 26,000 friends and family are providing care.
But what is Alzheimer’s Disease? Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms eventually grow severe enough to interfere with daily tasks. It worsens over time and there is currently no cure.
You are not alone. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s or another dementia, you are not alone. The Alzheimer’s Association is the trusted resource for reliable information, education, referral and support to millions of people affected by the disease.
