 Team Alzheimers: 

Long time runner and CBHM veteran Jane Lemire has been involved in fundraising in the Upper Valley since 2003. Jane and her Team of 15 runners pioneered TeamAlzheimers for CBHM in 2004 by turning 15 race entries into $7,000 in donations. Since then, TeamAlzheimers has raised $95,000. All funds are donated to several Upper Valley private non-profit senior organizations that specialize in the care and/or services for people with dementia.

TeamAlzheimers is a totally volunteer organization that donates 100% of its proceeds back into the community.

Members of TeamAlzheimers commit to raise $300 dollars and are required to pay a registration fee of $65.

David's House

David’s House is the realization of the dream of a little boy who died at the age of 5 ½ from leukemia. David often expressed his wish to take other hospitalized children to his home, his safe haven away from pain and suffering.  After David’s death, his parents collected the coins that David was saving ‘for something special’ and that became the seed money for David’s House.

David’s House is a 15-bedroom home-away-from-home. Its mission is to serve families that have children undergoing medical treatment at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth. There is a suggested nominal fee, but no one is ever turned away regardless of their ability to pay.Every runner is invited to join the David’s House Team and raise $500 plus the charity registration fee of $65.

In recognition of your generous support, David’s House will provide:

  • Pre-race pasta dinner
  • Continental breakfast
  • A David’s House t-shirt

Thank You!!
