Mikey Hoag is the Founder of Part the Cloud, the highly successful Alzheimer’s research fundraiser that takes place in Silicon Valley every year. After losing her father to early-onset Alzheimer’s, Mikey Hoag founded Part the Cloud in 2012 with the goal to educate, fundraise and to accelerate critically needed Alzheimer’s disease research. She realized that her personal story could have the power to rally people around the Alzheimer’s cause, so she partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association and a steering committee of women affected by the disease to launch the first Part the Cloud Gala
