Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I'm trekking part of the Great Wall of China in May 2009 in aid of Alzheimer's Society and I'd really appreciate your support. Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them.
Over 700,000 people in the UK have dementia. More than half have Alzheimers disease.
1 in 3 older people will end their lives with a form of demetia.
Dementia is one of the main causes of disability later in life, ahead of cancer, cardiovascular disease and strokes.
In less than 20 years over 1 million people will have dementia soaring to 1.7 million by 2050.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
I hope you'll join me in supporting Alzheimer's Society by sponsoring me today.
Thanks
Craig
