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

<p>I am forfeiting the Royal Wedding to take part in a challenge (getting Prince William to ask Kate to marry him was a pretty big feat, but I believe mine is bigger, and arguably more worthwhile). I intend to swim 1 mile, every hour, for 24 hours.</p> <p>That's 24 miles in 24 hours.</p> <p>In an outdoor pool.</p> <p>In England (Guildford counts as England, doesn't it?).</p> <p>In April. Well April/May, but it will still be chilly (it's just that "April" sounds chillier!)</p> <p>I'm doing it to raise funds for Alzheimer's as I believe it to be a charity that is doing a lot for a lot of people, but like everything, needs money and support to be able to continue its work with both research into this terrible disease and with the help it offers to the sufferers and carers.</p> <p>Thank you in advance for any donations you can give; every penny counts.</p> <p>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>He sacrificado mi invitaci&oacute;n a la Boda Real para participar en un reto que yo creo merecer&aacute; la pena mi ausencia. Lo siento por William y Kate, pero creo que mi presencia en la prueba que voy a emprender es m&aacute;s importante que asistir a un evento que, al fin y al cabo, no es m&aacute;s que una misa y una comilona. Y eso lo tengo en las fiestas de San Pedro en Lamas&oacute;n cada junio.</p> <p>Mi intenci&oacute;n es de nadar una milla (1.600 metros) cada hora.</p> <p>Durante 24 horas.</p> <p>(O sea, 24 x 1.600 metros = casi 40 km en 24 horas).</p> <p>En una piscina al aire libre.</p> <p>En Inglaterra, en abril.</p> <p>O sea, con fr&iacute;o.</p> <p>Lo voy a hacer para recaudar fondos para Investigaci&oacute;n en la enfermedad de Alzheimers, que es una enfermedad terrible, tanto para los enfermos como para los que los cuidan. Y es una enfermedad que afecta a cualquiera, da igual su clase social, cuenta bancaria o estado civil. Y la investigaci&oacute;n de esta enfermedad no sabe de fronteras; investigaci&oacute;n que ocurre en otros paises es valiosa para otros tambi&eacute;n.</p> <p>As&iacute; que, os doy las gracias por adelantado por cualquier donativo que puedas hacer. Si tienes alguna duda sobre como hacerlo, no dudes en preguntarme.</p> <p>Muchas gracias.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
