It's DAY 2 of the 9th Annual Ann Asparro Run: 7 Marathons in 7 Days! Over the past 8 years, The Ann Asparro Run has raised more than $250,000 for Long Island Alzheimer's & Dementia Center (LIAD), providing crucial respite programs for caregivers. When Jay hits his limits during training, he draws strength from the thought of the daily struggles these caregivers face. "Every day of taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's or dementia can feel like a marathon for a family caregiver. It's draining. That's why I'm doing this--draining myself every day for seven days--to honor all of the unpaid hours family caregivers provide." This year, Jay is continuing his mission by running seven marathons in seven days. He started yesterday, and will finish with the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 3rd.
