Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the London Marathon on 23rd April 2023! Despite the dodgy knees (and fact I’ll turn 40 before), I’ve decided to push myself very much outside my comfort zone and run the Marathon to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK!  This charity is really important to me as they find several of our research projects and I chair their Grant Review Board. I became a dementia researcher as both my grandmothers developed and died with dementia, and I want to be part of the global effort to find ways to understand and treat this disease. 

I love running, and regularly run 5km a few times a week, but this will be a real challenge for me as I have never run any longer than 8 miles in one go (and that was once!) Your support in helping me reach my fundraising target is really appreciated to keep me going with training for this long distance and getting through the run itself!
