Rosie's marathon..BRACE yourselves
Fundraising for BRACE - Alzheimer's Research
Story
I am embarking on my second marathon adventure and running the
Virgin London Marathon on in support of BRACE.
Established in 1987, BRACE (Bristol Research into
Alzheimer's and Care of the Elderly) finances research into conditions of the
elderly, particularly Alzheimer's Disease. As one of the few charities that exists
specifically to finance dementia research, BRACE has supported diverse research
projects into all aspects of dementia, aiming also to raise awareness of the disease
and its effects.
Alzheimer’s is a
disease unfortunately close to many of us and with only £11 currently
spent per Alzheimer’s sufferer per year, the work BRACE does is vital if future
generations are to be free from the fear of this devastating illness.
Having completed
the Edinburgh marathon last May in 4hrs 40minutes minus nine of my ten
toenails, I am investing in a new pair of trainers, embarking on a new rigorous
training regime, and aiming for a time closer to 4hrs 15minutes this time round. My sponsorship target is £1500, but obviously
I’m trying to raise as much as possible. Any contribution would be ELY
appreciated.
