About The Why Dewey Run 3K

The Why Dewey Run 3K is a Running race in Louisville, Kentucky consisting of a 3K.

The Why Dewey ("do we") Run 3K is a tough but beautiful run that circles a small lake in Long Run Park. This closed 3K course honors the late Carrey Dewey and her courageous 4 year battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Carrey was a fighter and an inspiration who took ALS head-on. She decided almost immediately that she was going to be public and open with her daily battle with ALS. She regularly chronicled about her daily life as her ALS progressed. She gave us all an insight on how difficult and unmerciful ALS is.

Carrey and her family knew a cureKeep Reading would not come in time for her. But she and her family wanted to do what they could to help find a cure, so other families would not have to go through the struggles that she went through. Eric and Carrey researched and settled on two foundations which they chose to support. All proceeds from the Why Dewey Run 3k will go to these two charities.

Walkers, leashed dogs, and strollers are all welcome and encouraged to join us. Sign up today to run for those who can't. Share this moment and be a part of Team Dewey

This race was started last year and was made a 3K to honor what was her over 3 year battle (at that time) with ALS. This is a tough course, because ALS is a tough opponent and because Carrey was one tough woman! What better way to honor her than going around a beautiful course that is also tough course! So please join us as we fight against ALS and "Carrey on the light".
