Help David raise money

For participating in 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend

My Story…

10 years ago my Mother passed away after suffering the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease.  2 years ago my Mother-in-Law was diagnosed with this disease and is slowly slipping further into a shell of who she once was.  Although my original intent was to celebrate my 70th birthday on May 4th running my first Marathon, I am thankful that I will still be able to walk the back half marathon to honor these too fine ladies in my life!  Every day we are closer to understanding and treating this disease that has an effect on someone related to you, someone you know, or someone you love.  So I am asking all of you, no matter the amount, to help me celebrate my monumental birthday by donating to Alzheimer's Association and to honor Clara and Marian. 

Description

As an ALZ Stars runner, I am joining the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia by raising funds and awareness for the Alzheimer's Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter! Funds raised support the Alzheimer's Association vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. To learn more, visit alz.org today. Thank you for your support!
