Several running events through 2015 · 31 December 2015

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year after 5 years of doing relatively little, I decided to start running again.  This was after a previous stint in my slightly younger days where I ran for a few years, but more for for enjoyment rather than really pushing myself.

This year, over 2 1/2 stone lighter and a lot fitter than this point last year, I will be competing in various events through the year.  All of which, I will be raising money for the Alzheimers Society.

Alzheimers is in the family and my Grandmother suffers from it, as did my Great Grandmother.  This could be something any of us suffer from one day and its not just the elderley that get it.

The current list of events are as follows:

29/03 Liverpool Half Marathon -  completed in 1:21:02

19/04 Manchester Full Marathon - completed in 2:53:40

17/05 Chester Half Marathon - completed in 1:18:40

14/06 Liverpool Rock and Roll Half Marathon - completed in 1:20:49

21/06 Sport in the port 10k  - completed in 00:36:21

05/07 Southport Half Marathon - completed in 01:21:18

23/08  Fleetwood Half Marathon - completed in 01:28:42 :(

13/09 Great North Run - completed in 01:20:50

26/10 Dublin Full Marathon - completed in 02:52:08

22/11 Conwy Half Marathon - completed in 01:18:54

Update

I will be using my good for age place for London Marathon 2016 (April) to extend the fund raising and list of runs above.  This page will now close in May 2016
