Herts & Essex one day cycle challenge · 15 July 2012 ·

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>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>As most of you know my nan suffers from Alzheimers and I wanted to do something to raise money for this amazing charity. Did you know that dementia funding is way below par, meaning that its hard to progress in finding a cure for this disease.</p> <p>Here's what your money can do:</p> <p>&pound;50 -&nbsp;could fund one person to go on our one-day Dementia Awareness&nbsp;training course.</p> <p>&pound;100 -&nbsp;could mean eight callers getting the expert advice and support they&nbsp;need from our National Dementia Helpline. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #800080;">&pound;313 -&nbsp;could pay for one person affected by dementia to go to a peer&nbsp;support meeting every week for a year, where they can benefit from&nbsp;emotional support gained through meeting others in the same&nbsp;situation. <span style="color: #000000;"><em>(This is the total I am aiming to achieve)</em></span></span></p> <p>&pound;500 -&nbsp;could pay for a brain scan for five participants in a clinical trial to&nbsp;help improve diagnosis of Alzheimer&rsquo;s disease.&nbsp;</p> <p>&pound;740 -&nbsp;could pay for someone with dementia to enjoy one session of&nbsp;Singing for the Brain&reg; a week for a year.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
