Donations cannot currently be made to this page
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

In October 2011 I lost my grandma to Dementia, she was a lovely lady and would have done anything for anyone. She always had sweets and chocolate biscuits to give me and my sisters and a little bit of money for our pockets, she had so much love and affection for her family. I can't begin to tell you how horrible it is to see someone you love so much, become so helpless and confused.

Before my gran was ill I had always wanted to challenge myself physically and mentally for charity. Since my gran passed away I wanted to help others going through a similar experience and when looking on the Alzheimer’s society website saw the Memory Marathon and straight away my heart said this was what I had been looking for. I signed up to it the second I could and really want to raise as much money as I can to really make a difference to people who genuinely need the help.

On September 8th 2012 I'm going to walk 26 miles in Northumberland in memory of an amazing lady who I am so proud to have called my gran.

Every penny really will make a difference so please give what ever you can.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,

Vicky x
