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.
