Dear friends,

I did it, in 1hr 46min!!! A PB! very pleased! 

Thank you very much to all who sponsored me. Sponsorship is still accepted until 18-12-2011.

Thank you so much for visiting my JustGiving page. This is for my Mum who has Alzheimer's, and for my Dad who hasn't got Alzheimer's, but experiencing every bit of it. I am also doing it for all touched by Alzheimer's in one way or another, and knows what The Long Goodbye really means.

 

With every Great North Run I did for Alzheimer's Society, Mum, who has severe early onset Alzheimer's since her early 50's, has continued to deteriorate despite being on medication. She is now fully dependent on Dad for all her daily living activities; I don't know of anyone braver, more patient and unconditionally dedicated than he is! She's now unaware of most things, and is unaware of who I am. For now, there is little else I can do to help the situation; I am therefore determined to do the half marathon again (yes, all 13.1miles of it!!) for Alzheimer's Society and hope to raise as much as I can, as the Society does a tremendous job that means so much to those involved .

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

So please sponsor me! All you have to do is press on a few keys on the keyboard, I'll do the hard work of running all 13.1miles of it!

Many thanks for your support, not only will every individual sponsorship mean a lot to me personally, it does really help with motivation during the run!

 

Warmest regards and Best Wishes,

Ai Lyn
