Alzheimer's affects one in three elderly Americans. And a Mount Pleasant man is willing to push his mind and body to the limit to find a cure. 

CMU employee Brad Kloha will compete in 100 obstacle races in one year in an effort to raise a million dollars

Kloha will be taking on challenges most of us could never do. 

"At times it'll be carrying a 40 pound sandbag up a mountain, sometimes you're throwing a spear, crawling through rocks, you're lugging up 5 gallon buckets of gravel up a mountain pulling concrete blocks behind you." Kloha said.

Kloha said he'll begin the challenge in June. 

"My Grandma passed away from alzheimers disease on June 18, 2011. So I wanted to start and end my campaign right around that time." Kloha said.

Kloha also lost his Great Grandma to the disease.
