In 2022 my family lost our grandad to Parkinson’s which often develops alongside Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Having done some work with Dementia Friends before, I wanted to get involved by combining that work with something I love. Running!

Many friends, family and colleagues are effected by the disease in some way which sees 1 diagnosis every 3 minutes. It is set to become the UK’s biggest killer. 

Every single donation, no matter how small gets us towards our goal of £2000 so your support is massively appreciated by myself but also the great people suffering with the disease.

If you have any stories/photos of your own you would like to share regarding your loved ones and personal experience please feel free to send them my way. I will upload your story in a community post if you would like it shared 💜✉️

Add me on Strava if you would like to follow my progress as I will be running a half marathon every month until the 2024 London Marathon!

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
