Please support my fundraising efforts for the Alzheimer's Society. A worthwhile national charity that advocates on behalf of and raises funds for people suffering with Alzheimer's Disease. My mum, who's 82 yrs old, has been suffering from Alzheimer's Disease for about 10 years. It's been difficult to watch her slowly deteriorate, and she now has advanced dementia and lives in a local care home. 

My challenge is to complete the Great Manchester Run (Half Marathon) in May and hopefully raise some money for the Alzheimer's Society in the process. This is not an easy challenge for me as I only started regularly running a few months ago at age 57. I currently run the local Parkrun on Saturday mornings which is a distance of 5k (3.1 miles). I aim to progress my running over the next few months to be able to complete the 13.1 mile half marathon course in Manchester on the 21st May 2023. I've also committed to completing the Wilmslow Running Festival 10k (6.2 miles) on March 26th as part of my challenge and to help with my training. 

Despite my own physical limitations, I've started running to help with my overall health, particularly my mental health and wellbeing. Hopefully, setting the above goals will motivate me to maintain and progress my running and help those suffering from Alzheimer's Disease.

Thank you for your support!

Kind regards,

Steve X
