I run for Sharon.  

I run for my husband,  and his future. 

I run for my children, and their futures.  

I run for my friends, their families, and their futures.  

I run for all the people I haven't met, their families, and their futures.  

We lost a wonderful human to Alzheimer’s disease. Sharon Denny was a loving mother, a devoted grandmother,  a caring friend, and a successful dietician. She dreamed of retirement, of travel, and of seeing her grandchildren grow, but her diagnosis took all that away. There has to be a cure, and my goal is to help. Therefore, I will participate in the Chicago Marathon and fundraise for her and others impacted by this disease.   

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!
