Update:

I’ll now be running 52 days from Monday 10th May to Wednesday 30th June as well as still being off sugar. 7 miles (1 hour) per day on top of what I have already achieved.

Both of my partners parents suffer with both Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Working full time, as a family we are still their main carers and see first hand just how terrible this disease is affecting them. Therefore I am going to challenge myself to give up sugar for the 40 days of lent as well as run at least 3 miles a day to help support families not as fortunate or as well supported as ourselves.

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever.Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
