At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be cycling from John O'Groats to Lands end to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. This cruel disease will touch nearly all of us at some point, directly or indirectly, yet the government spends 8 times more on cancer research than it does on Alzheimer's. 

I am by no means an athlete and 1000 miles is a very long way to cycle. I am going to ride on my own with no support and I will be camping each night. There is no doubt in my mind that this is going to be a long, lonely, and tough journey but if I can in some small way improve the life of someone suffering with Alzheimer's it will be worth it. 

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
