Story

Hey! 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I will be running the Milton Keynes Marathon on 6th May and then tackling my biggest ever challenge a double marathon in Milton Keynes on June 22nd - perhaps more events depending if I survive the double! 

Dementia UK is a charity very close to me and my families heart with my Dad now battling Vascular Dementia. The suffering on him and my family causes a great deal of emotional pain. It is a very difficult thing to watch a person you love go through. 

People who suffer slowly start with just forgetting where they had put things and then difficulty putting words into sentences, to not recognising family and friends and finally not remembering what we take for granted everyday like swallowing food and breathing.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Much love, Matty x
