On October 24th I’m running Dead Last Ultra, a backyard ultra in Sutton, MA. Every hour on the hour you run a 4.17-mile loop. Finish it in time and you go again. The last runner standing wins.

I’m running it for my grandmother, Angela Caputo, who we lost to Alzheimer’s. Watching what that disease took from her, and from our family, is something I’ll never forget.

Every dollar raised here goes to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund. Their board covers all overhead, so 100% of your donation funds research aimed at preventing, slowing, or reversing Alzheimer’s.

Two ways to help:
**Donate:** give any amount right here.
**Pledge per loop:** commit $X for every loop I finish (example: $5/loop at 15 loops = $75). Comment or message me your pledge, follow along on race day, and give your total here after.

Funding research with the highest probability of preventing, slowing, or reversing Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease was discovered over 110 years ago. Little was known about the disease and, since then, little more has been learned, until recently.

Frustrated with the slow pace of research about the disease, our founders applied their experience in venture capital and corporate startups to build an organization specifically designed to accelerate research, make bold bets, and eradicate the disease. They also insisted on four key principles to ensure success:

- Fund the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers
- Provide rapid review and approvals for submitted grants
- Insist on collaboration among funded scientists
- The board of directors pays for all overhead expenses so that 100% of donations go directly to research

Since our founding in 2004, our unwavering focus has been providing research grants to the worlds’ leading scientists researching Alzheimer’s disease. To date, Cure Alzheimer’s Fund has contributed more than $132,000,000 to Alzheimer’s research. Many of the projects we have funded resulted in significant breakthroughs, developing a deeper understanding of Alzheimer’s disease, and getting closer to a cure.
