My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Why I want to raise money for the Alzheimer's Research Trust

 

My gran was unfortunately diagnosed with Alzheimer's in Nov 2003.

We first started noticing it when she was still living on her own and she became very forgetful and suffered from short term memory loss. As time went on, she deteriorated and she forget to turn the oven off etc and she became to ill to live on her own. She then moved into a normal rest home, but with time it became apparent that the care home wasn't able to look after her and after a fall and a spell in hospital she moved to a specialist care home called 'Reside', which is a couple of miles from the family home. We all visit her regularly with my mum visiting her once or twice a week. We all went to see her yesterday as a family as it was her birthday and it was nice to go together, but I found a bit upsetting because she has deteriorated since I last saw her. Even though she doesn't know who any of us are anymore, you can tell she appreciates the company and you can still make out the odd word.
 
I am really happy that I have been given the chance to run the London Marathon and raise money for such a worthy cause. I wouldn't want to do it with a charity that's not close to my heart as thinking of my gran will always spur me on when it gets tough and the training increases in distance.

 

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.

Any sponsorship money that you could spare would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Jon Annable
