Waltham Man Raises Awareness for Alzheimer's

Guy Anthony Sergi of Waltham is rallying his team Team Gasoline to raise funds and awareness for an Alzheimer’s Association event called The Longest Day on June 20.

The Longest Day, focused on the summer solstice was created in recognition of the long days that are part of living with Alzheimer’s disease.

“My Babci (Polish for grandmother) put up a strong fight against the disease,” said Sergi in the announcement. “She passed away in 2004, but from that tragedy came hope and determination. I wish to see the end of Alzheimer’s disease in my lifetime.”

On Saturday, June 20, Sergi and his team partner with local gas stations, including the Gulf station at 821 Main St., Waltham.

Team Gasoline will be assisting customers by filling up their tanks, washing their windows and collecting donations in exchange for donations.

“Team Gasoline is fueling the fight against Alzheimer’s disease,” said Sergi.

Funds raised by Sergi will benefit the research, programs and public awareness efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association in Massachusetts.
