The Grizzly · 9 March 2014

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Dementia may not be a trendy cause to donate to however the sad truth is that it is likely to affect someone we love.  Something like 1 in 14 people in this country over 65 will suffer from dementia rising to 1 in 6 over 80 year olds.  I'm currently experiencing some of the heartache that goes with caring for someone with this disease and so wanted to help raise awareness and see if I can raise a few pounds to suport the fantastic work that Alzheimer's Society does.

The Grizzly is a 20 mile off road run that has been known to make grown men cry.  The most I have ever run is a half marathon so this is going to be a challenge.  The thought of raising money while I'm doing it will definitely help get me through.

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.

Thank you.
