Marathon runner to crochet flowers to help raise Alzheimer’s disease awareness
David Babcock, a.k.a. “the knitting runner,” will crochet flowers while running the New York City Marathon Nov. 1 and hand them to race spectators to help raise awareness and funds to fight Alzheimer’s disease. Babcock hopes to finish 20 of the 6-inch flowers, symbolic to people impacted by Alzheimer’s. He raised almost $10,000 running the marathon last year while knitting a 6-foot scarf with the words “I’ll Remember For You.”
