| | The LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | We heartily applaud all marathoners who ran the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon in October, especially members of Team CARE (Conquering Alzheimer’s Running Endeavor), the Association’s running team, for their commitment to successfully run (and complete) the 26.2-mile marathon, and for a record-breaking year. |
 | | “Whether team members ran this marathon to qualify for the Boston Marathon, ran at the back of the pack like I did, or somewhere in between, at some point this year most everyone talked about someone they know with Alzheimer’s, some having very close connections to the disease. |
 | | One team member lost his mother to Alzheimer’s on the Thursday before the marathon and he ran with us in her memory. |
