My Fundraising Page
On October 5th, I will be running the Maine Marathon as part of a relay team in support of the Josephine and John Marr Alzheimer?s Research Fund at Brigham and Women?s Hospital. This is a cause that hits very close to home for me and my family as my Great Aunt, Josephine, was debilitated by Alzheimer's and spent the last several years of her life battling this horrible disease. Established by my Great Uncle John and his children, the fund directly supports novel and early-stage research aimed at preventing Alzheimer?s disease.
We now know that Alzheimer?s begins 20 years or more before the onset of symptoms. The Marr family ? together with world-renowned researchers at the Brigham ? are focused on finding a way to stop Alzheimer?s disease altogether. Backed by more than 30 years of research, Dr. Reisa Sperling and her team are pioneering innovative approaches to advance the prevention and treatment of this devasting disease, including world-wide prevention clinical trials.
Over the past 11 years, the Marr Fund has raised almost $3 million through the Maine Marathon and the team at Brigham and Women's Hospital has made great strides in prevention and treatment for this horrible disease.
100% of money raised goes to Alzheimer's research and every dollar makes a difference.
Thank you for joining us in this fight to prevent Alzheimer?s. Together we can make a difference ? now and for future generations.
Thank you for your support!
