Update 02 Sep 2023 - 11 hours, 26 miles Alzheimer's Society trek at Stonehenge, a few blisters and an aching body, all worth it.

Thanks to all who have supported and sponsored so far.

🏃‍♂️ Let us fight Alzheimer's! 🧠💪

I'm taking on a 26-mile trek around Stonehenge to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's research. Make a difference by donating to this fundraising campaign.

Imagine walking around Stonehenge, taking in the awe-inspiring beauty and feeling a sense of accomplishment. But for someone with Alzheimer's, this experience can be vastly different. Simple tasks like navigating, remembering directions, or even recognizing familiar landmarks can become overwhelming and disorienting. 

Currently, there are nearly 36 million people with dementia in the world, and the numbers are expected to double every 20 years. 

In 2011, there were 25,000 people with dementia from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic (BAME) groups in England and Wales alone. This number is expected to double to 50,000 by 2026 and rise to over 172,000 by 2051.

By supporting this fundraising campaign, you can improve the quality of life for individuals living with Alzheimer's and support research to find effective interventions.

Your donation, big or small, directly supports vital research, caregiver programs, and education. Let's create a future without Alzheimer's together.

Donate now.

Please share this post to help spread the word if you're unable to contribute financially.

Thank you for your support! Together, we can end Alzheimer's.

Why should you care about Alzheimer's? Here are the top three reasons:

1️⃣ Impact on Individuals: Alzheimer's affects millions worldwide, robbing individuals of their memories, independence, and even their identities. By donating, you can help fund crucial research for better treatments and ultimately find a cure.

2️⃣ Support for Families: Alzheimer's places an immense burden on families and caregivers who selflessly devote themselves to caring for their loved ones. Donations enable organizations like the Alzheimer's Society to provide essential support services, education, and respite for caregivers, ensuring they have the resources they need.

3️⃣ Shaping the Future: By donating to the Alzheimer's Society, you're investing in a future where Alzheimer's is no longer a threat. While there may not be a cure for Alzheimer's yet, history has shown that through dedicated fundraising efforts, progress can be made.
