My story

 

In memory of Fred ...

Imagine living the last 5 years of your life without being able to talk, read, write or even recognise your own son, daughter and grandchildren. It's hard to imagine how isolating and frustrating that must be. Well, that's what happened to my grandfather Fred and to help ensure that noone else needs to suffer in this way, I've decided to cycle the length of England and Scotland (from Land's End to John O Groats) - a distance of sum 935 miles - to raise money for the Alzheimer's Research Trust charity that invest in finding a cure.

Please help me raise a meaningful amount towards this important cause.

Many thanks and here we go!

Simon
