My story

Here we go again, again!!

 

Last year we completed the first ever Memory Marathon North and raised over £500 for the Alzheimer's Society. After finishing the walk, Fiona said "never again", however Lindsey's powers of persuasion have worked once more and we have signed up for the Memory Marathon once again!

 

There are currently over 750,000 people in the UK with dementia, with this figure set to rise to over a million by 2025. Chances are, we will all be affected by dementia at some stage in out lives.


 

The Alzheimer's Society support people with dementia as well as those who care for or work with them. They provide support groups, organise activities, such as singing for the brain (a personal favourite of Lindsey's), give information in many formats, offer a helpline and online support network, provide training and support for people working with people with dementia, and fund research to find ways to improve the quality of life of people living with dementia.

 

The Memory Walk Marathon will take place in Northumberland, from Beadnall Harbour to Holy Island, and, whilst the route is a bit different to last year, we are sure it will once more be a challenging 26 miles.

 

We are paying for all of the costs associated with our participation in the challenge ourselves, so every penny of every donation will go straight towards funding the outstanding work of the Alzheimer's Society.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. JustGiving will never sell your details on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

 

Many thanks for taking the time to visit our fundraising page. We hope we have inspired you to support us and the Alzheimer's Society.
