Noted Ultra Runner to Raise Funds for the Alzheimers Association

Ultra Extreme Runner, Alicja Barahona shares a common goal with the Alzheimers Association, of wanting to live in a world without Alzheimers disease.  As a scientist, I support the Alzheimers Associations message of Maintain Your Brain.  Increasing evidence shows that managing your numbers your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, as well as your body weight contribute to healthier aging and may help decrease your risk for Alzheimers.  As a resident of our local community, I also see the challenges faced by families currently living with this disease and want to help.  You can too!

Alicja Barahona has won notable successes in a number of world-class races.  Alicjas next journey will take place beginning October 30, 2004, as she joins other Ultra Runners from around the globe as they begin their non-stop 350 mile/555 kilometer race across the sand dunes of Niger.  This will be the first of two such voyages Alicja will undertake, in an effort to help families affected by Alzheimers disease by raising funds for the Alzheimers Associatons research grants program as well as the vital programs and services provided through the local Alzheimers Association chapters throughout the United States.  The second journey will entail another 350 mile/555 kilometer race following the Iditarod Trail in Alaska, February 2005.
