About Team R2R

Our Team

Team Run To Remember (R2R) was launched in April 2009 to provide a way for runners to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. In its inaugural program year, Team R2R is offering more than 50 runners an opportunity to run the 2009 ING New York City Marathon while fundraising for the Alzheimer’s Association, NYC Chapter. Our 2009 team comprises runners from 11 different US states. Each of our team members has a story of how Alzheimer’s or a related dementia has affected his or her family and friends.

What We Provide

Team R2R has three primary goals:

1.That each of our runners successfully and safely completes the marathon.
2.That each runner has FUN completing the marathon.
3.That each runner is able to make a difference through raising funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association.

Our team provides its members with training guidance, fundraising assistance, social gatherings, web tools and race-day transportation and support. To learn more about the Alzheimer's Association, NYC Chapter programs and services, please click here.
