Story

I will be running 29 Miles in February to raise money to help fund the amazing work of Alzheimer's Research UK. Many of my friends will know that my Dad is suffering with Alzheimer’s. This cruel disease is slowly taking away the man that I knew. This loving, intelligent and fiercely independent man now struggles with everyday tasks and is finding it increasingly difficult to communicate with the outside world as his speech and ability to understand conversation is deteriorating. 

I am taking on this challenge to help fund the vital dementia research that Alzheimer’s Research UK are doing in the hope that some day, no one  will have to endure this horrible disease or watch a loved one battle against it. Alzheimer’s Research UK are the charity leading the search for a cure and they will keep going until everyone is free from the heartbreak of dementia.Please support my fundraising efforts by making a donation to my page, and you could help towards finding a cure for dementia.

£20 could fund one hour of ground-breaking research.£50 could provide access to specialist equipment to study cells. £250 could pay for a genetic test to help identify dementia risk genes. Every contribution, big or small, will drive forward the search for a cure.

Thank you for anything you can spare xx
