I have been a runner for most of my life. Going on now almost 40 years. I couldn't bear to live without running. Running has given me so much in my like so far, I can't begin to describe in a short paragraphs alone. I am now 54 years old, and have been struggling for a while with the fact that I haven't done anything positive to help the world in any way with all this running I do.
I lost my Mother in 2003 to Alzheimer's. In case you don't know, this is a disease that affects 5 million Americans, has no cure and is a progressive disease which leads to death. Since if affects the brain, a person eventually in the later stages has to completely depend upon a caregiver to help with all simple tasks of daily living. It is said it will affect 1 in 85 people worldwide by 2050.
