My Story…
Hi, my name is Katerina! I will be running the Pittsburgh Marathon while raising awareness and funds to support the Alzheimer’s Association. This journey is about so much more than crossing a finish line; it is about honoring the people who have touched my heart, shaped me into the person I am today, and giving back to a cause that means so much to me.
For the past three years, I have had the privilege of working as a nurse aide caring for patients living with Alzheimer’s. I have witnessed the quiet moments: a smile, a familiar song, a hand held, and learned that sometimes the smallest acts of kindness can mean the most. The patients I have cared for have left a lasting impact on my heart, and their stories are a part of the reason I am choosing to run.
There are currently more than 6 million Americans who have Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to grow to nearly 13 million by 2050. Behind every one of those numbers is a person, a family, and a story. These are not just statistics; they represent lives forever changed. Every mile represents strength, love, and hope for a better future.
All funds raised benefit the Alzheimer’s Association and its efforts to enhance care and support programs and advance research toward treatment, prevention, and ultimately a cure. Your support means more than you know. 💜
