Thank you for supporting me on this run and helping me to raise money in aid of the Alzheimer’s society

The Alzhimers Society not only provide help and support for suffers of the disease but also supports their relatives as well as funding important research that will help to improve the quality of life for people with dementia so please pass this on so we can raise as much as we can for such a worthwhile cause

Even with my experience of this disease I cant even begin to imagine what this woman and her family are going through but I do know how even a little support can be such a big releif
