Could you imagine running a 5K every day for 100 days?

That's what Saint Joseph's University Student, Ethan Widrig is doing.

After he lost his grandmother to Alzheimer's disease 6 years ago, Widrig made a plan to raise awareness of the disease by running every day around the track at his school. His mission quickly gained steam as he documented his post runs with a photo on his Instagram page.

People are following his story on social media and donating to his cause with all the funds going to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
