This November, we would like to name Steve Smith from Minnesota athlete of the month for supporting AFTD’s mission through Charity Miles! Steve has completed over 570 miles by checking in on the app when he goes running in his local community.

Steve joined Charity Miles after his career gave him the opportunity to observe the impact of FTD on persons diagnosed, care partners, and families. “I chose to run for AFTD’s mission because I work as a Senior Program Coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Mayo Clinic and have seen the impact of FTD on our patients and their families firsthand. I hope that through running for AFTD on Charity Miles, we can continue to raise awareness and work toward a future free of FTD.”

Join Steve and the rest of the AFTD-Team by downloading the Charity Miles app and tracking your miles moved in support of AFTD’s mission. You can turn your daily workout into a fundraiser by creating your own pledge page. It’s simple: set a goal, ask your family and friends to support you, and track your steps to raise awareness and funds for AFTD’s mission.
