On 13 September I'll be taking part in the Great North Run and raising money for Alzheimer's Society.

As we get older, most of us know someone whose life has been affected by dementia. It's a condition that touches countless families and one that may directly affect many of us in the years ahead.

I'm therefore supporting Alzheimer's Society, which provides practical help to those living with dementia, supports their families and funds vital research.

If you'd like to support me, I'd be enormously grateful for a donation.
