Hello, Dear Friends! In April 2027, I’ll be running one truly iconic race: the ASICS Marathon de Paris in memory of my beloved grandfather, Milo Bibelheimer. I ran the Chicago Marathon for him in 2023, and what an honor it is to continue this journey. Milo is one of my angels. A huge motivation behind my running dreams. My inspiration in so many ways. He was fiercely loving, highly ambitious, and endlessly loyal. He battled Alzheimer’s for fifteen years before we lost him at 91 years old. Those of you who have been touched by this awful disease know all too well the pain of the long goodbye—the confusion, the questions, the grief. The expenses, the ache. And yet, there is hope! I’m running to raise funds for Alzheimer’s research—for the discoveries, treatments, answers, and hope we still desperately need. Your support of my fundraising efforts would mean the whole world to me. You can help by making a donation to Fondation pour la Recherche sur Alzheimer or simply by helping bring awareness to this cause. Reposting, sharing, cheering me on—all of it matters! There are no small contributions or acts of support. Donations are processed through Alvarum, making it easy and 100% secure. Cheer me on as I chase Paris—and a Boston-qualifying time—this spring!!!! I cannot wait. Thank you with all my heart! With love, Stephanie Mack
