I'm running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society in memory of my Grandma, Margaret Peet. Here's why:

It is well-known that when many memories are hard to retrieve, music is especially easy to recall...every cloud has a silver lining.

Thanks to the Alzheimer's Society, despite what had become rather a cloudy mind, my Grandma was able to enjoy some precious clarity and good fun, singing her wartime favourites with a group of like-minded people at the local Singing for the Brain sessions. 

Please donate to help the Alzheimer's Society fight dementia, and to help people like my Grandma, who, like many of her generation, always have a song in their heart. 

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 dig deep and donate now.
