Story

I'm running 13.1 miles (21km) for Arts 4 Dementia because art brings so much joy to the elderly and those living with dementia. I want to support a charity that helps create more opportunities for those living with dementia to access art. 

The funds raised will allow Arts 4 Dementia to train professionals and partner with arts organisations to deliver creative workshops for those living with dementia, and to continue delivering their own ambitious programmes of workshops that challenge, stretch and bring joy to people living with early-stage dementia and their companions. The charity is also taking a leading role nationally to encourage "social prescribing" referral of dementia patients to the arts.

My longest run before signing up to this challenge is 12km (7.5 miles) - so I'm really grateful to have your encouragement and support for Arts 4 Dementia as motivation. Thank you!
