Alison Edge is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Manchester Half Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·

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

Like so many people, I was supposed to be doing this in 2020, but Covid had other ideas!

I ran this half in 2018 and had a blast, this time I was hoping to smash loads of time off my finish time as I've lost a substantial amount of weight since then and generally improved my running. However, also like many other people, my running mojo has been somewhat intermittent throughout this past 18mths and I decided quite late not to defer to next year and actually do it in 2021!

But, let's face it, dementia doesn't give a fig about lockdown or Covid, or anything else so I am going for it!  If I can help raise money for Alzheimer's Society to support them in the fight against dementia, it will be well worth every single km I run, erm, or jog / walk / crawl!! Plus, I'm also doing this to support my best friend so she can get the support she needs from Alzheimer's Society while she supports her Mum.

Well, I did it, 13.1 miles in 2.5hrs! A heartfelt thank you from me, for any money donated by my wonderful friends and family x
