I am fundraising for everyone impacted by Alzheimer's

This cause hits close to home. I've watched Alzheimer's change the lives of people I love, and running the NYC Marathon gives me a chance to honor them, make a difference, and fight back. 26.2 miles is nothing compared to what families facing this disease go through every day. I was introduced to the Alzheimer's Association by my family, who have worked with them for years to fight this illness. With your help, I am confident we can make a difference. 

There's real momentum right now: new treatments and an FDA-approved blood test are bringing us closer to earlier diagnosis and better care. But the need is urgent as more than 6 million Americans currently live with Alzheimer's, and that number is projected to nearly double to 13 million by 2050.

Every dollar you give helps fund breakthrough research, support families navigating this disease, and move us closer to a cure. If you're able to support my run with a donation, it would mean more to me than you know.

Thank you for joining the fight against Alzheimer's.
