Susan Claris is raising money for Alzheimer's Society

Story
We are so excited to be joining Trek 26 Stonehenge to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
We love to walk - it gives us precious sister-time together to catch up and to enjoy our surroundings.
Dementia and Alzheimer's disease are likely to touch us all at some point in our lives - it was the leading cause of death in 2022, accounting for 65,967 deaths (11.4% of the total) - so raising awareness and funds is vital.
We all know that physical activity has great benefits for both physical and mental health. It can help prevent and manage so many chronic conditions and illnesses. Regular physical activity can reduce our risk of dementia by up to 30% and for most of us a walk is the easiest way of being physically active. Every short walk is good: it doesn't have to be marathon length! But for us that's just a bonus.
So if you are able to sponsor us in our long walk, we would be thrilled: not big contributions - any amount you can spare would be hugely appreciated by us and by the Alzheimer's Society.
Thank you so much,
Linda and Susan
