My Story…


This run is a dedication and honor to my guardian angels and my parents Ken and Nancy , whose grace, strength, and courage in their journey with dementia inspire me every day. Their ability to embrace life, love, and family through every challenge fuels each step I take. This run is for them—my heroes, my motivation, my heart.

They have taught me what it means to fight with dignity, to adapt with courage, and to cherish the beautiful, ordinary moments that make life extraordinary. As I cross each marker on this course, I will carry their laughter,  perseverance,  and unwavering love with me.

This run is for you Mom and Dad. 

For the memories we hold,

For the moments we create,

For the hope that drives us forward.

Thank you for being my greatest teachers, my deepest motivation, and my forever inspiration.

I am proud to run in your name, and proud to honor the remarkable legacy of the love we share.

Your daughter for ever, Mary Beth
