Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On June 15th I will be climbing a 36 metre Pylon to help raise funds to support Alzheimer's. The climb will take place on a training Pylon (still high, just without the electric shock!)
Through my company I've had the opportunity to learn a lot more about Alzheimer's and the brilliant work carried out by the Alzheimer's Society. Any donation, big or small, is appreciated and will go a long way in helping them to continue their great work.
