A Year-Long Journey to End Alzheimer's
My name is David, and my mother has been bravely battling Alzheimer's for over eight years. This relentless disease has taken a toll not only on her and our family but on countless families worldwide. In 2024, I am embarking on a mission that goes beyond personal achievements – I am running for memories.
The Journey:
This year, I have committed to run a half marathon each month, culminating in a full marathon in December. Every step, every mile, is dedicated to my mother and the millions affected by Alzheimer's. While the journey of running will present both physical and emotional challenges, they pale in comparison to the daily battles endured by those living with Alzheimer’s and their loved ones.
The Impact:
My hope is that this journey is not just about me; it's about creating a ripple effect of awareness, compassion, community, and support. Alzheimer's is a formidable foe, and I believe that together, we can make a difference. By supporting this cause, you become a part of a community rallying against the devastating effects of Alzheimer's, bringing hope to families and individuals affected today and the millions of us who could continue to be impacted in the future.
Why Alzheimer's Association:
The Alzheimer's Association is at the forefront of the battle against this disease. They provide vital support services, fund groundbreaking research, and advocate for policy changes. Your contribution will directly support these efforts, aiding in the quest for a world without Alzheimer's. Recent breakthroughs in the battle against this disease mark significant milestones. Sustained support will amplify the impact of these positive advancements.
How You Can Help:
I am reaching out to you, my friends, family, and my growing running community, to join me on this journey. Your support can come in various forms – a donation, a share on social media, or even a message of encouragement. If inclined, explore the list of races I intend to participate in and consider joining me. Engaging in regular exercise stands as one of the most effective methods to safeguard our own brains from the onset of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Together, we can raise awareness, funds, and build a network of individuals dedicated to ending Alzheimer's.
Join the Cause:
Follow my journey on social media, share your stories, or join me for a race or two! I plan to begin by donating $1 for every mile I run in races this year. Along with funds raised from our “Running for Memories” apparel store, my goal is to raise $10,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association. Let's amplify our collective impact. Alzheimer's may be a formidable opponent, but united, we are stronger.
