"Running for Mary"
My friend from high school has been losing cognitive ability for a couple years now and will need assistance due to her condition. This truly is so sad for all of us as she was so vibrant, intelligent, and involved in life on so many levels. We know the pain so well and hope that by raising funds for Alzheimer's research, future individuals will be spared this terrible disease and live a long and happy life. With every step we take training and actually running the Buffalo Half- Marathon, we thank you in advance for being our sponsors and contributing to AFA!

Hello Hello from “Running For Mary” team: Sandy and Alyssa! Well. we “did It” and the run was exhilarating and exhausting ( at the same time!) and extremely satisfying knowing that our fund will go to the important mission to eradicate Alzheimer’s through research. We were inspired and cheered on by Jim ( my husband), Peter ( Alyssa’s beau)… and so happily by Mary and Bill too- yeah!!! You all were truly the winners ( not Alyssa and I) for your generous hearts! We love you all! Go out today and love your friends and family and cherish every precious moment with them.
So sincerely, Sandy and Alyssa
To all our friends who have been SO generous and donating to this great fund to help knock out Alzheimer’s … we are sooooo appreciative! We are 2 days away and super psyched for the BIG race. You will ALL be in our HEARTS as we put step after step forward on Sunday!!! You all are THE BEST!!!!! With lots of love in our hearts for you, Sandy and Alyssa
Hello Julie! Thank you ever so much for your gracious offer to support us and your generous contribution!
