I am running the 2023 Chicago Marathon in memory of Mom, Marian Frazzini. In April of 2021, my mom passed away while battling Lewy Body Dementia. Since that day, I have lost myself in grief. This marathon is not only in memory of her, but a healing journey for me as I learn to live without her and find myself again. 

By participating in this event, I've committed to raising awareness and funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association®.

Currently, more than 6 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease and that number is expected to grow to nearly 13 million by 2050. Our future is at risk and we must come together to change the course of this disease.

Please support my efforts by making a donation. All funds raised benefit  the Alzheimer's Association and its work to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure for Alzheimer's disease.  Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer’s disease!
