Jog Your Memory 5K Raises Over $240,000 for Alzheimer’s Research and Caregiver Support
The 12th Annual Jog Your Memory 5K and 1.5-Mile Walk united nearly 800 runners and walkers on Sunday, October 5. While the event takes place in Needham, Massachusetts, many participate virtually from across the country — all honoring loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s disease and raising funds to advance vital research toward a cure. In total, 516 individuals and businesses from 35 states contributed to the 2025 Jog Your Memory event.
Founded in 2014 by Jess and Bob Rice of Needham, Jog Your Memory was inspired by Jess’s mother, Carol Caley, following her diagnosis with early-onset Alzheimer’s. What began as a family tribute has grown into a cherished community tradition and a powerful force supporting the mission of Cure Alzheimer’s Fund.
In 2017, the Jog Your Memory Board established what would be called the Dick Caley Caregiver Fund, which provides annual grants to caregivers across the United States who face the emotional and financial challenges of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.
This year’s event brings total contributions to Alzheimer’s research to more than $2 million since Jog Your Memory began. We are deeply grateful to the Rice family, the Jog Your Memory team, and the many families, sponsors, and volunteers whose dedication continues to turn every mile into meaningful progress toward a cure.
