Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Greater Manchester Marathon in memory of my late Grandfather, John Cullinan who sadly passed away in September 2011 after suffering with dementia for several years.  Dementia is caused by symptoms that occur when the brain is affected by specific diseases and conditions. Symptoms of dementia include loss of memory, confusion and problems with speech and understanding.  This disease is extremely stressful and painful for the sufferer and their family and approximtely 820,000 people have dementia in the UK.  Dementia UK promotes and develops Admiral Nursing which is a specialist nursing intervention focused on meeting the needs of carers and families of people with dementia.  So please help me support this worthwhile cause by donating some money.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please dig deep and donate now.
