Longest Day Virtual 5K

Kelly Blavatt

June 20th is the Longest Day of the Year.  Let's join together for a virtual 5K to help #ENDALZ.

<p>I am running the NYC Marathon for the Alzheimer&#x27;s Assocation.   But there&#x27;s a way we can all get involved with a virtual 5K in honor of the Longest Day.  </p><p>The Longest Day is the day with the most light — the summer solstice. On June 20, people from across the world will fight the darkness of Alzheimer&#x27;s.  All registration proceeds from the Virtual 5 K will be donated to the Alzheimer&#x27;s Assocation.</p><p>Why do I want to run the NYC Marathon and fundraise for the Alzheimer&#x27;s Association??  To honor my FATHER!  </p><p>Alzheimer&#x27;s has robbed my father of the prime years of his life.  It&#x27;s a disease that has taken away his ability to do the most simple things that I no longer take for granted.  Every time I run my mantra is &quot;I RUN TODAY BECAUSE SOME DAY I WON&#x27;T BE ABLE AND TODAY IS NOT THAT DAY!&quot;  Along with &quot;I RUN FOR THOSE WHO CAN&#x27;T!&quot;</p><p>My Dad is not alone, currently, more than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer&#x27;s disease and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050. Our future is at risk and we must come together to change the course of this disease.</p><h3>There are several ways that you can join the effort:</h3><h3>Register to run, walk, or sleep in on June 20th.   All registrants will receive a downloadable race bib and completion certificate. </h3><h3><a href="https://www.bonfire.com/end-alzheimers-running-the-nyc-marathon/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Purchase a t-shirt to commemorate our virtual race!</a> - T-shirt proceeds will also be donated to the Alzheimer&#x27;s Association.  </h3><h3>Make a donation:  <a href="http://act.alz.org/goto/kellyblavatt" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://act.alz.org/goto/kellyblavatt</a> </h3><h3>Share your experience by tagging #longestdayvirtual5K</h3>
