A huge thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

 

Here is why I am trying to raise GBP4000.00 for the Alzheimer's Society:

 

While studying Neuroscience for my Bachelors degree, Alzheimer’s was a disease only confined to the lecture halls. The degenerating cholinergic system, neurofibrillary tangles and beta amyloids were mere hypotheses I had read about in the textbooks. It was not until my grandfather was diagnosed with the disease that I realized the impact Alzheimer’s had on families. I chose to fundraise for the Alzheimer’s Society to raise awareness of the disease amongst my friends and to show my family that there is a wider network of help, not only for the sufferers but also for their care-givers/ family members. I have decided to take this climb to rid myself of the naive thinking that I need not need to worry about neurodegenerative diseases until later in life. The harsh reality is that Alzheimer’s affect whole families and with the help of the Alzheimer’s Society I want to challenge myself to pass this message on.
