Having been unfortunate enough to see the impact that Alzheimer's can have on a family, this cause is one that strikes a very personal chord with me. The more money there is for research the closer we must be to a cure.

I have to admit that the fact I am climbing the biggest hill in the land on the night of June 21st rather than being tucked up in bed, is thanks in no small part to my Best Man Rod Logan.

£500 could pay for 40 callers to receive the expert advice and support they need from the National Dementia Helpline, so please give generously.

Thank you so much.
