London to Paris Cycle with Discover Adventure July 2017 · 19 July 2017 to 23 July 2017 ·

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.

Between July 19th & 22nd July 2017 I will be cycling 328 miles from London to Paris. Although I've ridden to and from work for years up until a year ago my physical fitness wasn't great and there's no way I could have undertaken a challenge of this sort.

Anyone who has seen me over the course of the year will know I have "dropped some timber" and this is really the culmination of a years effort to get to where I am now.

Whilst it is a significant personal challenge I wanted to align the ride with a worthwhile cause and chose the Alzheimers Society. The event is aiming to raise £200,000 to further research and treatment of this horrible illness. I'm sure we all know someone or of someone who has been directly affected by the illness and I want to try and do something to assist with the development of treatment and support the Alzheimers Society. If I can raise £1500 that will pay for the Alzheimers Society to run their support service for 2 weeks or for a support worker to spend an hour a week for a whole year with someone suffering from Dementia.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any amount you feel you can sponsor me. As a well known supermarket has been know to say "every little helps"

I am hoping to hold other fund raising events throughout the period leading up to the ride and will let people know about them in due course.

Cheers
