2023 Race for Respite


November is National Family Caregiver Month. If you are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, ALS, Parkinson’s, FTD or another neurological disease or you want to support someone who is, join us in our SECOND ANNUAL RACE FOR RESPITE benefiting family caregivers. All you have to do to participate is:

1) raise money ($10, $100, $1000…) either as a family or individually. Kids LOVE raising money for races. Get a group of families together and commit $5 per person, etc.

2) pick a race in your hometown (you may even invent one) and just show up sometime in the month of November and complete it. Anytime, Anywhere, Anyone! It can be a 1 mile hike, a 5K, 10K, marathon or even an ultramarathon!

Runners, Bikers, Swimmers, Hikers, Sailers; whatever floats your boat. We want this to be something the whole family can get outside together and enjoy doing together. We are all about teaching the next generation about philanthropy, and we need your help to do it.

Anyone who is donating on behalf of your team can donate using the button on our website. This isn’t about drawing attention to ourselves, this is about teaching our children how philanthropy helps others. There won’t be recognition for “top donors” or crazy fundraising incentives. If you are doing this, its because you care about caregivers and you care about community. Those are the two things Mind What Matters cares about most.

We need your help! Get creative and have fun. This is meant to add enjoyment and fun for the whole family! Racing can happen anywhere and anytime in the month of November in the United States and beyond!

Please contact us through our website if you plan on participating and we will send you Race For Respite T shirts for you and your team. We will also be offering a discount code for a year subscription to NeuroReserve’s Brain Health Supplement Relevate to anyone who participates.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, TEACHABLE MOMENT FOR OUR KIDS, FREE T SHIRTS, DISCOUNT ON A REALLY GREAT PRODUCT THAT HELPS PROTECT OUR BRAINS AS WE AGE. What are you waiting for! Let’s Race!
