Story

AHHH what am I doing?!?!?!

I have wanted to raise money for Alzheimer's Society for a while, but I was unsure how. I saw my Grandma go through this and the effects it has. Plus, 1 person develops (not diagnosed!) Alzheimer's every 3 minutes and there is currently no cure. Once you are diagnosed, there is currently no going back and I want that to change.

Last September, I went for a run and I couldn't even run a mile. I also read up about how running and cardio exercise is a really great way to hold off developing Alzheimer's. I was so ashamed of myself for letting myself get unfit and since then, I haven't stopped running! :-)

I am currently up to 10 miles and I hope to get to 12 miles before the day!

I have never taken part in a race before of any kind, so it really is a great challenge for me.

Thank you so much for your donation!!
