About the challenge

Since 2004, I have been running the Chicago Marathon, in memory of my brother-in-law, Paul Bracken (pictured above) who passed away in 2001 at the age of 58 as a result of Early Onset Alzheimer’s. He left behind his wife, Sheila, three children, and his grandchildren.

March 24th, is my 70th birthday and April 8th would have been Paul’s 73rd birthday. As every race I run is in Paul’s memory, I will run 73 events, after turning 70, to raise Alzheimer’s awareness and to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Association in the hope of ending this terrible disease.

So... Here’s the challenge - I'll do the running and you do the donating - and together we can #ENDALZ


 73 / 73 events completed – 337.25 miles covered – $24,044.05/ 73,470 raised
