TESTIMONIALS
I signed up for QUASH not knowing much about the effects of Alzheimers disease. I
had no idea the impact it would leave on my heart. Its a great event with an even better
cause! I would highly encourage anyone and everyone to sign up!!
- University of Northern Iowa student, Blair Jones, 21

My grandpa suffered from Alzheimers when I was a young boy. It broke my heart to
watch him suffer every day until the the day he passed away. Having an event such as
QUASH gives me such hope for the future. I hope I live to see the day when we find the
cure for Alzheimers.
- University of Northern Iowa student, Tony Keetlear, 21

When I first heard of QUASH I just knew I had to be apart of something so amazing. I
signed up to do Q-Crew right away, and Im so glad I did! Being apart of such an
amazing organization has changed my life forever.
