Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In January of 2019 our family was turned upside down; our dad was given the diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Small Vascular Dementia at the tender age of 54.

Fortunately dad is happy and unaware of the situation. Our family however have to slowly endure seeing our kind, loving, gentle dad fade before our eyes. It has been the most painful thing we have all ever had to deal with. At times feeling helpless with no direction of where to get help  

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

 Therefore I will be running to raise money to kick this diseases' butt!
