Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Some of you may know and most of you may not, but I lost my Grandpa and my Auntie to Alzheimer's in the past few years, and it's been my biggest fear ever since. My Auntie was tragically trampled by a bull at the CFR rodeo in 2013 and from then, quickly deteriorated until she finally lost her battle last year. My Grandpa's story was much slower and ate away at his personality for many years. I loved my Grandpa regardless of his 24 hour/ 365 days a year Christmas carol singing and was devastated when he forgot who I was. It's hard to watch people you love slowly fade away and I can't imagine what it would be like to go through it yourself.

Knowing so little about this terrible disease terrifies me, and I can't think of anything worse than losing your memories, after all, what do you have in life without them? I'm hoping to raise awareness, and a bit of money for a great cause, as there needs to be so much more research done to find answers, and possibly a cure or prevention strategy. Please support me in my crazy decisions! If you can spare some change, or possibly a pint at the bar, it would help me so much to get to my target and walk 100 kms in 24 hours to Brighton! =) You can also text FUNN81 to 70070 to donate smaller amounts. Thank you so much for all the support!
