A few of you may know that earlier this year my dad was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's, which affects around 5% of people who have the disease. Many know that Alzheimer's is a progressive disease of the brain, causing loss of memory, but it also causes loss of coordination, speech and personality to name a few. This year, 1 in 3 people born in the UK will develop some form of dementia at some point, and currently there is no cure.

I have decided to run 500km between my birthday (25th October) and Christmas, with a bit of cycling to make up some miles - 62 days, averaging just under 57km a week - to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK. You can track my progress on my blog here:

If you can spare a few pennies, share this page or join me for a few km you would be much welcomed and appreciated! Food donations welcome too ;)

Cheers guys x
