After losing his father and brother to FTD and seeing the disease affect other members of his family, Mike Brucklier has turned to marathon running as a way to support research and raise awareness.

Since 2023, he has run two marathons for AFTD and, with support from his workplace and community, has raised about $41,000 for AFTD’s mission.

FTD is a devastating disease that impacts thousands of families.

🧠 It’s the most common dementia for people under 60.
⏳ The average time to diagnosis is 3.6 years.
💰 The annual cost of FTD care is double that of Alzheimer’s.

FTD has no cure, no FDA-approved treatment, and takes an immense toll on families. Raising awareness is the first step toward change.
