On 29 September Stuart Olsson, John Pope, Tom Mottershead, Alastair Mather and John Walden will set off on an epic run from Inverness to Skye. Travelling through some of the most remote parts of the UK they will cover over 140km (almost a marathon a day) to raise money for the Forget Me Not Club. 

Dementia directly affects one in three of us, whether that be friends, family or ourselves. The FMNs provides invaluable support to those living with dementia.  Giving over 600 of hours per week of care from its centre in Banchory, the charity truly changes lives. Whilst it costs in excess of £200,000 to run the FMNs, they don't charge a penny for their services. Instead they rely on the generosity of the community - people like you.

The runners each have a personal connection to dementia through those close to us, and a number of our family members enjoy the support of the Forget Me Not Club. 

We are lucky to have the support of lots of folks on the run, including Robbie Simpson (Commonwealth marathon medallist and all-round running champ), his partner (and also running champ Genie Barrand); and our support team Malcolm Combe (to name a few!).

Thanks for the support and see you in Skye...
