Story

Hi!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

In July of this year, I am embarking on a 320-odd mile cycle - over 4 days, not all at once - from London to Paris to help raise money for Alzheimer's Society.

I've thought for a long time about taking on a challenge like this, but until now didn't quite have the 'bottle' to do it!  I have several months of training ahead  of me and come July, hopefully I'll be fit enough and up to the task!

I have witnessed the devastating effects dementia has, on several occasions and through my cycle I hope to raise awareness and vital funds.  The Alzheimer's Society is dedicated to supporting people with dementia and their families in many different ways.  

Dementia costs the UK £26.3 billion per year. £17.4 billion of this cost is met by the person with dementia and their family.  This is why it is so important to support charities like Alzheimers Society so they can continue their vital work .  

If you would like to support me on my cycle, please donate what ever you can afford to help me to raise as much money as possible for such a worthy cause.   

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
