"Don't Forget the Bike" · 12 February 2013

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is where you can make the difference in the grand scheme of our endeavours. The smallest donations count, and we understand the current climate does not lend itself to selfless giving. So we do appreciate every penny donated. 

 

Our challenge is to cycle over 1100 miles around Europe. 

 

We have no idea of the horrors that face us, (saddle sore, blisters, dehydration) but this cause is worth every ache and pain, every bead of sweat, and in our case... every tear. Please take time to donate, even if its just £2!!!  As Tesco say.. "Every little helps" and it really does!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please dig deep and donate now.
