Thanks for visiting my page ! On Sunday April 13th I will be running the London Marathon, my first 26.2 mile challenge. I have run many half marathons in the past couple of years but this is my first, and probably last, attempt at a Marathon.
I am raising money for Alzheimer's Society Scotland - here is why.....
Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain and can affect anyone. There are currently over 800,000 people with dementia in the UK and this figure is set to rise to over 1 million by 2021.
Dementia is terminal and there is no cure. A staggering one in three people over 65 die with a form of dementia.
The Alzheimer's Society Scotland is a non-profit organisation and is the leading support and research charity for people with dementia, their families and carers. They rely solely on donations and with this money they fund research, care, and help for sufferers and their families.
Nothing can prepare a family for the impact of this cruel disease, seeing someone you know and love deteriorating and not being able to recognise their own children.
Thanks for reading and donating, it is much appreciated.
