Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided, on 30th July 2011 to take part in the London Triathlon. I will be doing so in the hope of raising money for the Alzheimer's Society. I have chosen this charity as I lost my dear nan Winnie O'Sullivan 3 years ago who suffered from the diease and I wittnesed close hand the impact it had on her, myself and my family. The money I will raise will help the Society in many ways and here are just a few.....

  • £5 could pay for one person to attend a half hour session at a monthly Dementia Café, providing information and support for people with dementia and their carers.
  • £20 could pay for 100 copies of Understanding and respecting the person with dementia - one of the Society's most requested factsheets.
  • £50 could fund a PhD researcher for one day to continue vital research into understanding the causes of dementia, how it can be treated and, ultimately, to find a cure.
  • £120 could pay to run Talking Point for one day - the Society's 24/7 online community for all people affected by dementia.

The London Triathlon will consist of me swimming (in the river thames), running and cycling. Since the new year I have been training intensley as I aim to complete the triathlon in good time and more importantly rasie as mush awareness and money as possible for Alzheimers.

So please dig deep and give as much or as little as you can. Your donations will go to a great cause. Also please feel free to come along on the day and cheer me on.

Thank you.

Brian
