We are walking on behalf of my loving, quick witted and brave Grandad Brian. As well as raising funds for Alzheimer’s and Dementia we would also like to raise awareness for the symptoms of the disease and the care and help that there is available. Alzheimers affects us all in one way or another, whether you are a sufferer, a family member or a friend. Alzheimer’s is often overlooked due to the fact it has no obvious painful physical symptoms but the psychological impact is still incredibly painful for the sufferer and their family. The money currently spent on Alzheimer’s research is less than a tenth of the money spent on Cancer research, yet 1 in 6 people will be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that's the equivalent to one person every three minutes.  Arm in arm, step by step and pound by pound, we will get there. Even the smallest of donations can go a long way. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to the Alzheimer's Society.

Thank you for your support.
