The Warrior Spotlight
A New Focus
Please join us at our Facebook page as we announce a new direction for SAF!
The Summitt Family
Over the next several weeks and months, Pat Summitt will be the focus of much-deserved media coverage concerning her fight against young-onset Alzheimer’s (YOAD). She could – willingly or not – become the face of this disease for the next decade. And as horrible as it is to hear, there is a small piece of good news to be found, as it relates to Coach Summitt: Her family is going to be alright.

The New SAF
If you haven’t been to our parent site in a while, you’ll notice some MAJOR changes when you go back! Yesterday, we re-launched SAF with an all-new, simplified, clean design. It’s easy to navigate, lists all of our current projects and focuses, and it looks good while doing it!
Check out the new Sharon Antcliff Foundation website right now, and let us know your thoughts!
What Will SAF Really Do?
We’ve been asked this a few times since we started. While we have a long way to go to be able to accomplish most of these things, we’re still fighting every day to get closer.
So, here’s the answer to the question. When SAF is funded and fully operational, what will we do?

About the Alzheimer’s Association
A brief note from Kevin Antcliff
It came to my attention earlier today that the unquestioned leader in the fight against this nasty disease – the Alzheimer’s Association – was under the impression that we viewed them in a negative light. I’m not sure if it’s as simple as a miscommunication, or if they were the victim of some misguided fire and passion on our part.

If You Don’t Want to Take OUR Word For it…
MAKE 13 minutes and listen to the words of this YOAD patient. He says everything we’ve been trying to get across for the last year. Saddens us to watch it.
Still Here
We’d like to take a second to let everybody know that we’re still here. Time and resources are slim, so it makes our fight tougher than we’d like. More times than we can count, we’ve had the real desire to quit our jobs and dedicate 100% of our time to SAF and its mission.
But at the end of the day, that’s just not realistic.
Until the time when we can jump back into the fight at full strength, please know that our hearts are still with all of those families dealing with this horrible disease.
Thank you.

A Personal Note from Kevin Antcliff
I know as well as anybody that times are tight for so many people these days. Even my own family has, at times, severely felt the crunch caused by the tough economy. So many families are struggling to keep paying bills, put food on their table, and keep the lights on.
But as bad as it’s been for many of us, I couldn’t imagine being the position of the family that needs our help this morning. As my family cared for my mom, we were fortunate to never have to face the thought of losing a house, falling behind on bills, or not being sure where our next meal would come from. Yet that’s exactly what this family is facing right now.

Calling All Warriors – A Family in Need. An URGENT Call to Action.
This is urgent, everybody. A family that we’ve been talking to for the last several months made it known to a member of our board last night that they are in serious trouble.
Here’s the quick overview:
The husband is a hero. A firefighter who has put his life on the line hundreds of times for others, lost his brothers in devastating fires, and is loved by all who have ever worked with him. He has children – a young daughter in college, and a growing young boy. He has a wife. A fighter who we’re proud to know.
