My Story and How You Can Join Me

Sunday 15th Mar
On April 25th I will be participating in the Salt Lake City Marathon. This is my 6th marathon I’ve competed in but my last one was in New York City nearly 5 years ago.

I have a history of fundraising for various foundations with the races I do. In New York I raced with Team Fox and the Michael J Fox Foundation. This time around it’s personal and I am honoring my Mom and raising dollars/ spreading awareness of Alzheimer’s disease. 
My Mom passed away in 2016 from early onsite Alzheimer’s and Dementia. As a kid, she was my coach and still today inspires me to compete in full marathons as well as Ironman Events. Not long before she passed away I was training for my first Half Ironman. She told me she wanted to run a Half Marathon with me. It was sad for me to think that likely wouldn’t happen, but when she passed away I realized she is there for all of my races with me.

I have been dedicated to my training and I’m looking to post a significant Personal Record at this event. Her drive fuels my competitive spirit. 

So how can you participate?

Donate! I have a goal of raising $2,500. But there’s more to it than that. I want you to join me on this 26.2 mile journey. Don’t worry, there’s no running involved for you. Unless you want to join me! We’re gong to run fast.
You will inspire me to run fast by selecting songs for my playlist.
Every $10 gets you one song on my Spotify playlist. And for every 5 songs or $50, you get a bonus song.
After your donation is made please email your song selections to amarks03@gmail.com. 
I hope to finish this race in 3.5 hours. If the average song is 3:00 long, I need at least 70 songs to get me through this.
You can inspire me or make me laugh. 
But here’s the thing…to hit my goal I need 250 songs. So my hope is I start listening to my playlist from the moment I wake up, while I’m traveling to the event, and during the event. Sending me shorter songs will help me listen to them all on race day. 

So let’s do this race together. And while you’re making donations encourage you to learn about the impacts of Alzheimer’s Disease and other events you can participate in to support research and help us find a cure.
