Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am cycling the Wiggle Super Series 65 mile Mendips Sportive in Somerset to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK.
This is a charity that is very close to my heart because my mother suffered with dementia.
It would be fantastic to think that one day there was a prevention/cure for this terrible disease.

Over 850,000 people live with Dementia in the UK and that number is rapidly rising.

At £24 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined but over two thirds of the care for Dementia patients is paid for by themselves or their family. 

·         £20 could fund one hour of vital research

·         £50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells

·         £120 could support complex protein analysis

·         £300 could pay for a genetic test to help identify risk genes
