Birmingham Great Run · 20 October 2013

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.

Many of us are related to or know of persons suffering with Alzheimers. A particularly cruel form of dementia, it can make us strangers to those we love the most and send its sufferers into an unfamiliar world playing tricks with their memories. 

For a number of years now I have allowed my own fitness to deteriorate and my weight to increase. Personal circumstances over the past 18 months or so have given me the focus to try and turn that around and attempt something I have never done before,  run a half marathon - the Great Birmingham Run on Sunday 20th October 2013.  

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.  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 please dig deep and donate now.
