My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

As I'm fast approaching (and will by the time of the event have passed) 30 years on this piece of rock we call home I wanted to do something to prove that I'm not old. I may well fail, but if I do it will not be for lack of trying.

I was just going to do the run, and that be it however I recently lost my Grandfather, and so it seems apt that I should do this in his memory. Granda suffered towards the end of his life with Alzheimers, and I personally found it heartbreaking to see the great man that he was disappear over time. Make no bones about it, Alzheimers is a terrible condition which affects one in 14 people over the age of 65, rising to one in 6 at the age of 80. Please sponsor me to break my poor, overweight, unfit body in the name of caring for those who suffer from dementia.

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.

So please sponsor me now!

UPDATE - 23.4.09 - Thanks to everyone who has donated so far, your generosity is overwhelming. As I've already smashed my initial target I'm going to bump it to £500 and see how we do as time goes on. Who knows, we might even make it to £1000 :)

UPDATE - 03.08.09 - Yesterday was the big day and not only did I finish, I smashed my target time of 1 hour 20 mins, finishing in 58 mins and 4 seconds. Many, many thanks to everyone for donating and pushing me on.
