My story

 

Hi,

I recently cycled 1000 miles from Lands End to John O’Groats in 10 days to raise money for The Alzheimer’s Society.

I am still collecting money, so please do still sponsor me. I am trying to make it to £10,000 and am only jut over £1,000 short including gift aid.

I did this, as my Dad was very sadly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the young age of 56. At the time he owned and ran a successful building business, was physically fit and a huge cyclist enthusiast. Now at the age of 60 he can no longer work, drive a car, cook and do all the other things we take for granted. He now needs constant care and is looked after 5 days a week in a local Alzheimer’s centre.

As you can imagine, this has had a massive impact on our family and so I want to raise as much money as I can for the Alzheimer’s Society to help hopefully find a cure for this disease so less families suffer. 

I chose this challenge because Dad loved cycling and the outdoors and he would think nothing of cycling 50 miles in a day, which inspired me to do 100 miles a day to achieve my goal for this very worthy society.

A sad fact is that Alzheimer’s is currently a non-curable and irreversible disease and so your support and sponsorship will go a long way to help fund finding a cure.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
