I said I’d never do any sort of marathon when I got into running, but it’s been such an important and joyful coping mechanism for me over the past crazy couple of years that I’ve decided to challenge myself. 

 I want to run for Alzheimer’s Research because there is currently no cure for this heartbreakingly cruel disease. I would love future generations to have the treatments and science to fight Alzheimer’s and to not have to watch their loved ones suffer such a slow and sad process.
