<p>Running for Dad is back for 2012 and this it's bigger, and further, than ever.</p> <p>Last year thanks to your generosity I managed to raise over &pound;1000 running the Alloa half marathon for <a href="http://www.alzscot.org/">Alzheimer Scotland</a>, a charity close to my heart that supports sufferers of alzheimers and other forms of dementia and their families cope with the effects of this terrible disease.</p> <p>This year, I'll be running the 26 miles of the London Marathon on 22nd April in memory of my <a href="http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary_alistair_littlejohn_industrial_mediator_1_832776">Dad</a>.</p> <p>Now, since I am going the extra mile, or 13 extra miles to be precise, I hope you will be kind enough and do the same by giving as much as you can to this great cause.</p> <p>The distance has doubled, and so has the fundraising target. So while I get on with training to try to achieve a 4 hour marathon can I ask you to share this with as many people as possible.</p> <p>The more we raise, the more families Alzheimer Scotland will be able to help just as they helped mine.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
