Story
As you may know, my beautiful and incredible mum, Maggy Milner passed away on the 2nd of September 2022. She’d been diagnosed with mixed Dementia less than two years before this. It was a huge shock for the whole family.
For a while, I’ve been wanting to do something in her memory and to raise some money for this amazing charity. Run for Dementia seemed perfect except, I’m not a runner. The last time I properly ran was whilst playing rugby back in 2015 and I didn’t run much on that day either!
So, I’m doing my own version of the challenge by doing a combination of running, skateboarding, walking and BMX’ing, aiming to complete more than 100 miles over the next 30 days.
It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me to complete this challenge. As I’ve already said, I don’t run, I rarely skate and I’ve not been on a BMX in a long time, plus I’m 50 this month too! This should be fun, quite painful but well worth it, if it raises awareness about this cruel and heartbreaking disease and keeps Big Mags in everyone’s thoughts. David x
I'm lacing up my trainers and taking on Run for Dementia. 900,000 people are currently living with dementia across the UK. Until the day we find a cure, Alzheimer's Society is here for everyone affected. Wherever they are, whatever they're going through. Your donations will keep me going so please hit the Give Now button and donate what you can to help beat dementia. Thank you!
