| Runners: 4 Stories About Our Runners |
More Bio’s From TeamA
Amanda Skinner
I am the granddaughter of Noni (Marion Manzon) who had Alzheimer’s disease and am running in her honor. I am also a healthcare consultant, a former nurse-midwife, a Rice Owl and a Yalie, a runner since the age of 7 when my father got caught up in the ‘70’s running boom, and a bit of a hippie at heart. I am a wife, daughter, sister, auntie and friend and hope / aspire to be good at those roles above all others. I live in Connecticut with my amazing husband Kalter…

| Jane's Journal: RUNNING ETIQUETTE |
Thought of the Day From My Daily Calendar
At long last, I was ready to run. For years, I’d toyed with the idea of running as a good way to get some exercise, but now I’d actually gone out and bought a spiffy running outfit. I’d even asked my husband, Gene, to help me pick out proper running shoes. Hoping that I looked the part, I stepped outside and smelled the morning air…

| Runners: ALZHEIMER'S BRINGS US ALL TOGETHER |
TeamA's "Long Distance" Runner
TeamAlzheimers has been very proud to have runners from all over the country. This year we even have a runner from the United Kingdom! Gavin has graciously offered us a little insight into why he has chosen to "cross the pond" to be a part of TeamAlzheimers.
Hi! I am Gavin Stoddart, and I live in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, UK. So - how come I am running for TeamAlzheimers in the Covered Bridges Half Marathon, supporting the sufferers from Alzheimers in Upper Valley, Vermont?? Well – perhaps a bit unusual, but the answer is really quite simple…

| Jane's Journal: WORDS MAY NOT TELL IT ALL |
One Minute Devotion
As I read my devotion daily calendar, I try to keep in mind what this web-site is about and how we get through each day; some more difficult than others. I know the words I read help me so much and guide me along.
So many things that we do in life affect others. Some will tell us, some will not. I also know that I try to live my life and treat others as I would like to be treated.
I hope you enjoy this story…

| Runners: CONGRATULATIONS TEAMA RUNNERS! |
2010 TeamAlzheimers Runners
Once again, TeamAlzheimers was given 50 spots for runners to compete in the Covered Bridges Half-Marathon(CBHM) on Sunday, June 6, 2010.
Typically, TeamAlzheimers will get requests from those runners that were not able to get into Covered Bridges Half-Marathon(CBHM). Once registration opened, CBHM filled up with 2300 runners in less than 20 minutes.
This year, TeamAlzheimers had many runners return from last year along with many others requesting a spot, months in advance. By the time CBHM opened their registration, TeamAlzheimers had only a few spots left.
We are excited that so many runners wish to run on our team and raise money for so many programs and services that benefit those with Alzheimers.
Over the next several months, we will once again provide you with bios, thoughts, and feelings of our runners.
Inside is a list of all our runners…
