My story is on my FB page but am aware that people are sharing this post so heres a brief bit about me. Jim was my father in law and made me laugh the moment I met him. I didnt get to know him properly as alzheimers took him far too soon and left behind a family who have welcomed me with open arms and hearts. I started running in march through c25k and fell in love with it! I've since gone on to run 10k comfortably and have now been lucky enough to win a ballot entry to the london landmarks half marathon next March! Because I've been given this opportunity I really wanted to make it count. So here I am.....

And here is the important stuff from the charity itself: Fundraising and awareness Branch of Alzheimer Scotland are on a mission to raise £100,000 in order to contribute to the cost of establishing a Dementia Resource Centre in the heart of Stirling and Clackmannanshire. This will only happen with your generous donations. Alzheimer Scotland believe that nobody should have to face dementia alone. A local Resource Centre will provide a platform for this in our own community.The Stirling and Clackmannanshire Branch are asking that local schools, groups, businesses and individuals help us to raise our target. A coffee morning, sponsored event or involvement at any of our own events to raise money for our Campaign will be gratefully received. By supporting Alzheimer Scotland in Stirling and Clackmannanshire, you will help support real people living with dementia across Forth Valley.
