A 5K Run/Walk
Saturday, October 28, 2023 | 9 a.m.
Reidenbaugh Elementary School
1001 Buckwalter Rd., Lititz, PA 17543

To date, AR2R has helped to raise over $550,000 to support the Alzheimer’s Association. We appreciate all of our participants, volunteers, and corporate sponsors as we couldn’t do it without you.

We look forward to this year’s race and invite you to join us to raise awareness for this very special cause. Proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association to further research in developing treatments to ultimately end all dementia.

 

    Important Facts About Dementia

  • All forms of dementia continue to be on the rise.
  • Alzheimer’s is the 6th leading cause of death, taking more lives than breast and prostate cancer combined.
  • Frontotemporal (FTD) dementia is a rare form of dementia with only 10% -20% diagnosed. FTD commonly affects people aged 45 to 64.
  • FTD is characterized by progressive atrophy of several different areas of the brain, particularly the frontal and/or temporal lobes, the parts of the brain that control “executive functions” such as decision-making, personality, social behavior and language, resulting in increased dependency on caregivers
  • There are no treatments to slow or stop the progression of Frontotemporal dementia.
