Running for Alzheimer's Disease
Help Us Raise Awareness
Michael F. Spates Alzheimer's Disease Scholarship Georgetown University School of Medicine
We are running the Annapolis 10 miler on August 25, 2024, in honor of our dad, who we lost to Alzheimer's Disease. We are running to raise awareness for Alzheimer's Disease and the Michael F. Spates Alzheimer's Disease Scholarship at Georgetown University School of Medicine.
This scholarship was established to provide funding to medical students with an interest in research and care of patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
As our dad would have wanted, we should help others so Join Us on a Run, Help Us Raise Awareness, or Consider Making a Donation to this important cause.
We thank everyone who has supported us on our past runs.
