Story

Hello all!!

I'm running the Great Manchester 10k on my birthday - say whaaaaaaaat. Why would I, of all people, get up and run on at 9am on a Sunday morning?? Bleurgh.

Well, I'm running for Alzheimer's Society. It's a disease that has affected my family recently. It's a frightening and dark disease that not only affects the person with the condition, but leaves the people that they love trying to care for them, even though it is often the case that they aren't really there anymore. It's one of the saddest things I have had to contemplate.  

Any money that can be raised for this fantastic cause would be greatly appreciated. The more research the better! The more help made available for those caring for their loved ones, the better! 

For those of you that don't know, my knees don't work these days. My Grandad tried to pay me NOT to run, so if you fancy adding a few extra pennies to any donations, that would be lovely. It'll definitely ease the pain!
