The race is inspired by my own encounter with Alzheimers's disease and is dedicated to my poppop Roger Flowers who passed in October 2024 after being afflicted with Alzheimer's disease. All those who have been touched by this disease are encouraged to attend or donate as all profits are donated directly to the Alzheimer's Association.
