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.

I will be raising money for Alzheimer's society because it is a cause close to my heart.

My lovely Mummy was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's at the age of 56.

Her friends and family have watched her deteriorate over the last 7 years and we have witnessed first hand the devastating impact of this horrible disease.

Once an independent business owner, she now lives in a care home and needs assistance with even simple tasks.

There are many misconceptions regarding the disease and I still continue to learn more about the side effects as time continues to pass by. This is even more so the case with early onset Alzheimer's.

It may take me 3 days to finish the race but I'm determined to do it if it can raise just a fraction of awareness for Alzheimer's Society.

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.
