Description

November is Alzheimer's Awareness month, a time to inform people about this horrible disease and help raise funds for research that will someday provide a cure. Alzheimer’s disease is defined as an irreversible, progressive disorder that results in the physical atrophy of the brain. Memory functions slowly slip away, and cognitive skills are lost. Eventually, the degradation of the brain can result in heart attack, stroke, or other physical maladies that lead to death. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia.

This race benefits Cure Alzheimer's Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding research with the highest probability of preventing, slowing or reversing Alzheimer’s disease.
