I'm running the Falmouth Road Race to END ALZ!
On August 16th, I’ll be lining up for my second year running the Falmouth Road Race in honor of my dad, Brian Igoe. We lost him to Alzheimer’s in December 2023, and while time keeps moving on, there isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think of him.
I feel so lucky to share his deep love for running; it is still the space where I feel most connected to him. But being my father’s daughter, I’m not just showing up, I'm back to beat my time and my fundraising efforts. He was a competitor through and through, something he passed on to me. This year I hope to beat last year's fundraising total of $8,278 and hit $8,500...together I know we can do it!
Why Your Donation Matters
Watching my dad battle Alzheimer’s was a firsthand lesson in how devastating this disease truly is. By running for Team END ALZ, I hope to make a difference and ensure that no other family has experience the heartbreak of Alzheimers. 100% of these funds raised go directly to the Alzheimer’s Association to fund:
Research: We are closer than ever to treatments that can slow or stop this disease. Your donations fund the clinical trials that lead to breakthroughs.
Early Detection & Prevention: Alzheimer’s starts in the brain decades before symptoms appear. Funds go toward identifying the disease early enough to make a difference.
Direct Family Support: Providing 24/7 care consultations and support groups for the 11 million caregivers currently navigating the physical and emotional exhaustion of this illness.
Join the Fight
I run for my Dad and all those impacted by Alzheimers and I fundraise because the families of the future deserve a different story than mine.
Whether you can give $10 or $100, every single dollar is a direct investment in a world where Alzheimer’s no longer exists. Thank you for your continued support and for helping me honor my dad’s legacy by fighting for a cure.
