Thank you to our 2009 Team Unforgettable Members whose combined total fundraising topped out at over $50,000!




Over 40,000 people descended on our Nation's Capital to run in what is affectionately known as, "The People's Marathon" on Sunday, October 25, 2009. Of those 40,000 people, the Alzheimer's Association had 26 dedicated runners take to the streets to tackle the 26.2 course. Many of our runners have a personal connection to the disease and shared their passion for running to help us also help find a cure.
