Story

My husband Bob, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s two years ago, he was 70 years old, we have to live with this diagnosis daily. Some days we have a good day and some days we have a bad day. I use the term ‘we’ as we both live with this illness daily.

I am running to aid the research needed to support this illness for everyone in the future who may be diagnosed with this disease!
