I'm fundraising for Lynn Beichner

I am thrilled to once again be participating in the Philadelphia Run to Remember half marathon to support the Alzheimer's Association in memory of my mom, Lynn Beichner. My mom sadly passed away in 2018 after a long struggle with early onset Alzheimer's. She was such a beautiful, funny, kind, loving person who I miss every day, especially now having my own two beautiful children that she never had the chance to meet. I know she would have been on the sidelines holding a funny sign, eating Hostess cupcakes, and pushing my kiddos in a stroller if she ever got to participate in a race day and it is an honor to think of her and all of the other individuals touched by this disease during every step of my running journey.

I run not only for my mom but also for caregivers, my patients and their families, friends, my grandparents, and all those touched by Alzheimer's. Please consider making a donation to this wonderful organization that means so much to countless families, including mine. It would also be an honor to run for any other loved ones. Please feel free to share any memories as remembering feels like a way to fight back.
