Our June Athlete of the Month, Michelle Greco, walks and runs in support of AFTD’s mission, while using the Charity Miles app. This month, she asked her family and friends to sponsor her on the app as she attempts to reach a goal of moving 200 miles. Michelle says, “I am so delighted to support AFTD while using Charity Miles. It is an effortless and healthy way to bring awareness to this cruel and relentless disease.”

Michelle’s mother Pam was diagnosed with FTD when she was 57 years old. After a 12-year battle with the disease, Pam passed away in 2015. Michelle moves in memory of her mother and to show her support for AFTD’s mission. She shares, “My hope is that through walking and fundraising, we can also move toward increasing awareness and advancing research for FTD.”

Join Michelle and the rest of the AFTD-Team on the Charity Miles app, and be sure to log your mileage next month, when we launch a special partnership. All throughout July, for every mile that community members log on the app on our behalf, The Jackie Pang Fund will donate $1/mile, up to 10,000 miles, in support of AFTD’s mission! Funds raised through this sponsorship will help to advance AFTD’s support programs – providing critical guidance, resources, and assistance to individuals and families on the FTD journey. AFTD thanks The Jackie Pang Fund for their generous sponsorship.
