Story
Welcome to the Running 4 Memories fundraising page dedicated to the Alzheimer's Association – an organization close to my heart. My name is David, and my mother has been bravely battling Alzheimer's for over eight years. In January, I started Running 4 Memories to raise awareness, funds, and build a network of individuals dedicated to ending Alzheimer's. Since January, our team has continued to grow!! Throughout 2024, we are embarking on a mission that goes beyond personal achievements – we are running for memories and I am happy you've decided to join and support our community!
The Journey:
This year, I committed to run a half marathon each month in different cities around the country, culminating in a full marathon in December. Personally, every step, every mile, is dedicated to my mother and the millions affected by Alzheimer's.
The Impact:
Our team is GROWING, which means our impact is GROWING! My hope is that this journey will create a ripple effect of awareness, compassion, community, and support. I am grateful to everyone who has joined our team as a runner, a cheer squad member, a financial supporter, or a fundraiser - reaching out to your networks to support you as a member of Running 4 Memories! The greater our network, the bigger our impact.
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.
