The “NO WHINERS” Miles for Minds: Lewy Body 5K brings family, friends and the Charlotte community together in honor of Mike Keenan, a beloved father and grandfather who passed away from Lewy body dementia (LBD) earlier this year. Mike was known as a generous, tough guy who hated whining and never complained while facing the challenges of the disease.

Taking place during Lewy Body Dementia Awareness Month, the 5K offers an opportunity to honor Mike’s memory while raising awareness and educating the community about LBD. You are encouraged to wear purple or your favorite Halloween costume, with a prize awarded for the best costume.

Registration: 9:00am – 9:30am ET
Race: 10:00am – 12:00pm ET
Registration fee: $25 per person; kids under 12 years old are free

All proceeds will benefit the Lewy Body Dementia Association (LBDA) to help advance research, provide educational programs and support resources for those affected by LBD.

Join us for a morning of remembrance, community and raising awareness of Mike. Register today: https://secure.frontstream.com/no-whiners-miles-for-minds.
