Jacob's Fundraising Page
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®.
My "Gramma" Terry passed from Alzheimer's and dementia in the summer of '23 after years of slow mental decline. She was, quite frankly, a bad*ss. She was tough, driven, funny as heck, tender, artistic, involved, and tender. I aim to emulate her in most things I do, including this marathon. My first one ever!!! For grandma, and for my mom and her siblings, who took care of her until her final days with such patience and poise.
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!
