On Thursday, July 13th, 2017 at 7:00pm at Point Grey Secondary School in Vancouver I invite you to join me for the 250th Week Run for Alzheimer’s, where friends and family are encouraged to come walk or run 5 kilometers at the track and donate a minimum of $2 to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia. Your generous donations will help fund research to find a cure for this terrible disease that affects the lives of millions.

Almost 5 years ago in September 2012 I challenged myself for fun to run 5km once a week, for 52 weeks straight. When I accomplished that goal, I set out to do it again for a second year and decided to begin fundraising to help support research to find a cure for Alzheimer’s, a disease that has affected some members of my family. For week #100 we raised $700, for week #150 we raised $1000, and last year for the 200th Week Fundraiser we raised $1813!

I haven’t missed a weekly 5k since then, and have decided to keep up the streak for as long as possible. I’ve organized with the Alzheimer Society that all funds raised from the event go directly towards the Research section of the Society’s budget, so each dollar will go directly towards efforts to conquer Alzheimer’s. I hope to see you there, and you can donate online as well at the link below!

Matt Ehrenreich
