Tatiana's gran suffers with Dementia, Liam's nan died of it, and Nina has a family friend who has it too. It's truly awful to see bits of someone you love, and their adulting capacity, gradually disappear.
Covid vaccine development has shown us what science can do when it's well funded, so we signed up to Running Down Dementia 2021 as a team because we want to help Alzheimer's Research UK make breakthroughs in fighting this horrible disease.
This is quite a challenge for Tatiana as she's recovering from Long Covid and still can't run, but this will motivate her to ensure she does walk every day to help her rehabilitation and contribute to the team's challenge of 1,450kms by 31 August even if just one km at a time.
One in three people born today will go on to develop dementia in their lifetime, so please help us reach our fundraising target by giving whatever you can using the 'Donate' button. The more people know about Alzheimer's Research UK, the greater their impact, so please spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family.
