On 18 November I will be taking to the dancefloor in Strictly Karaoke in aid of Alzheimer's Society. Lessons have begun and the pressure is on - please help me raise as much money as possible as every £500 raised will convert into valuable points for my score on the night and put me one step closer to the title of Ballroom Champion! 

PLEASE NOTE: You may experience slowness when donating to this site - please be patient as your donation will go through but may take about 20 minutes. If you would prefer, please send a cheque made payable to "Alzheimer's Society" to Lucy Toller or deliver cash in person to Lucy in the Philanthropy Office, 10th floor OCS, ensuring you specify that it is to sponsor Rodrigo Rodriguez.

Your money will also make a massive difference for people with dementia. 1 in 3 people over 65 will die with dementia - dementia isn't a natural part of ageing, it is a brain disease which can devestate lives. Alzheimer's Society is working to ensure that nobody has to go through dementia alone, and they firmly believe that people with dementia can experience a good quality of life at every stage of the disease.

But to make this possible they need our help. Please give generously.
