Why I’m Running

This October, I’ll be running my very first 5K in support of Alzheimer Calgary.

I chose this race because Alzheimer’s disease has touched my family personally. My grandpa is living with Alzheimer’s, and watching the effects of this disease has shown me just how important support, education, and research are for families facing dementia.

I’m starting this journey as a complete beginner, so every training run is a step toward crossing that finish line on October 11. While reaching my own goal is exciting, I’m even more grateful that each donation helps provide resources and support for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s.

If you’re able to donate or share my fundraising page, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you for supporting me and, more importantly, helping make a difference for those living with dementia.
