I'm running the Falmouth Road Race to END ALZ!
This year, I am honored to run the 2026 ASICS Falmouth Road Race in memory of my grandfather, Richard Dieter, while raising money for the Alzheimer's Association.
Anyone who knew my grandfather knew he was a brilliant man. He placed first in Massachusetts on the CPA exam, became a partner at Arthur Andersen, traveled the world, and spent his life demonstrating the importance of hard work, education, generosity, and making the most of every opportunity. But to our family, he was so much more than his accomplishments. He was Grandpa. He loved Cape Cod summers, afternoons at Fenway Park, a daily Dunkin' coffee, sharing a great bottle of wine with family and friends, and creating traditions that brought people together year after year.
In his later years, we watched Alzheimer's slowly challenge the remarkable mind that defined so much of his life. While the disease affected his memory, it never diminished his character, his values, or the love he shared with those around him.
I am running this race to honor his legacy and to help create a future where no family has to experience the heartbreak of Alzheimer's disease. Every donation supports care, support services, and critical research aimed at finding better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Thank you for supporting me, honoring my grandfather's memory, and helping move us one step closer to a world without Alzheimer's.
