Story

Fifty million around the world people live with dementia. To tackle the diseases that lead to dementia will take an effort of enormous magnitude and global reach. Essential in the challenge is the fundraising that fuels vital research. We believe our fundraising efforts should mirror the mammoth scale of this challenge. This year we are taking on our most ambitious fundraising campaign yet. From February 2019 to February 2020, between us, we will cover a combined distance of 40,075km. The equivalent to running all the way around the equator of the earth. For this, we need your help. Every penny raised will support the PREVENT Dementia Research Programme led from the University of Edinburgh. Our goal is to find new ways to detect the earliest changes in the brain long before symptoms appear. Our aim is to predict who is at greatest risk of dementia and develop strategies to intervene and slow or prevent the disease. Run. Raise awareness. Fund research. Change lives
