Story
I am running a half marathon on 9th April this year in Sheffield in order to raise money for the two causes I have chosen. I have chosen to split the money I raise 50/50 with Dementia UK and my expedition to Costa Rica.
Dementia UK is a charity which helps care for elderly people with dementia, they have specialist nurses who look after them and their families to help people live and cope with dementia. Looking after the elderly is something that I think is very important. I've spent over a year volunteering at my local residential home which mainly looks after elderly people with dementia, so I want to raise money for a charity which helps those suffering from dementia as I understand the challenges they, and their carers, face.
Also, I am going on a 28 day expedition to Costa Rica with World Challenge in July this year to do charity work. My group will work with children there at schools and we will do environmental work too, (like tree planting). I am very excited to go and experience the Costa Rican culture and help some of the people living there.
Thank you for any donations you make, hopefully I can reach my goal of raising over £200 by the start of April.
