On today’s episode we’re joined by Lewis Wheeler of Dorchester, MA, who is running the 128th Boston Marathon as a member of Team End ALZ in honor of the family members he has lost to Alzheimer's. Lewis talks to us about his family’s deep history with the disease, genetic testing, and running the Boston Marathon to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. He also discusses training with Team End ALZ and parallels of running a marathon and navigating the journey of Alzheimer’s.
