December’s athlete of the month is Amy Pohl. Amy is dedicated to using the Charity Miles app, and has walked, run, and biked over 520 miles, accompanied by her husband, Joe, and son, Lowen. During a year in which in-person races were canceled, both she and her family found that using the app was a way to stay active while also staying connected to AFTD’s mission.

“I get out to walk, run, bike, and hike in support of AFTD because I have hope for a cure, and that AFTD will get us there! Until then, AFTD supports families like mine, so that we do not have to navigate this dastardly disease on our own,” Amy shares. “I lost an aunt and uncle to FTD. I get moving because I want to stay healthy so that I too can support families impacted by FTD. And because I love being a part of such a great group of people across the world, racing toward a cure!”

Thanks to Amy, Joe, and Lowen for raising awareness and funds through this initiative! You can join the Pohl family and the rest of the AFTD-Team – just download the app today and get moving. Want to go a step further and turn your daily workout into a fundraiser? Simply create a pledge page through the Charity Miles app, and ask your family and friends to donate mile-by-mile in support of AFTD’s mission.
