Story

I lost my Grandma to Alzheimer's when I was young, I remember it was a very sad time for my whole family. Twenty years later and people all over the world are continuing to suffer from the effects of this disease and there is currently still no cure.


The Alzheimer's Society have organised a 26 mile circular route around Ullswater lake in June as a focal point to raise vital funds needed for research into treatment and to help support those affected with the disease, along with supporting their families through what is a very traumatic time.

I'm thrilled that, thanks to the kind donations of 16 people within the first week of this campaign, I hit the target of £300.

Now that we've exceeded it of course that's even more wonderful for the Alzheimer's society. Based on the training I've done so far, I anticipate that the 26 mile trek should take me around ten hours to complete, all being well, and I will update this page with my progress on the day.

On behalf of the Alzheimer's Society I would like to say thank you to everyone who chips in towards this fundraising goal and, in doing so, helps make a difference for those living with dementia.
