Alzheimer's has had a huge impact on many that are close to me, and I have seen how it devastates people I love. Alzheimer's Society do amazing work to support those impacted by this terrible condition, and for that every step I take to raise money for them feels worth while! I've raised over £3k in the past and I'd like to take that well over the £5k mark this year. To do that I'm best off doing the two things I'm good at...running and making a fool of myself! The running takes time and effort so I'll run at least a Marathon in one go during each month of the year...and the fool bit I'll keep you informed as I go along...ultimately I'd love to get a place in London Marathon so I can dress up and stand out!

So far I have:

• Jan - Winchester to Fareham - 32 Miles DONE
• Feb - Allan King Way (Portchester to Winchester) - 43 Miles DONE
• Mar - Spring Larmer Marathon - 26.96 Miles - DONE
• Apr - Manchester Marathon - 26.2 Miles - DONE
• Apr - IoW Ultra - 64 Miles - HALF DONE (34) miles w/COVID
• May - Gosport and Pompey loop - 32 Miles - DONE
• Jun - Hampshire Hoppit Trail Marathon - 26.2 Miles - DONE
• Jul - Race to the Stones - 62 Miles - DONE
  
• Aug - The Big Pilgrimage - 33.4 Miles - DONE
• Sep - The Big Sky - 38 Miles - DONE
• Oct - Status of the Fareham Adventure - 26.2 Miles - DONE
• Nov - New York Marathon - 26.2 Miles - DONE
• Dec - Portsmouth Coastal Marathon - 26.2 Miles - DONE
  
  

Whilst I'm a much more experienced runner than when I last raised for Alzheimer's in 2018/19 running London Marathon and attempting 1000 miles in a year. This is going to be the toughest challenge I've ever taken on.

I'm also sprinkling in some other races to add to the challenge, so far I have:

• Jan - Stubbington 10k - DONE
• Feb - Goodwood Half Marathon - DONE
• May - Alton 10 - DONE
• May - Netley 10k - DONE
• July - Portsmouth Joggers Club Summer XC (5 miles) - DONE
