I'm running the Yerevan Marathon to support the advancement of Alzheimer's research.

I first fundraised for this cause during my first marathon in Berlin in 2015, and over the years it has remained deeply meaningful as I've seen the impact of Alzheimer's and dementia on the lives of dear friends and their families.

This run is also part of something I've been thinking about more broadly. Working every day on climate change means confronting some difficult realities about our future. I've come to believe that doing that work also requires actively making space for joy, hope, and the things that remind us what we're working to protect.

For me, returning to running has become part of that practice. Training for Yerevan has been a way of rediscovering joy while putting that energy toward a cause that has mattered to me for more than a decade.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and for supporting this incredibly important cause.

Thank you to all our supporters
