Story

Hi, 

The event I'm doing is Rat race "the wall", it's a 70 mile ultra marathon running Hadrians wall, from Carlisle Castle to the baltic on Newcastle's quayside in 24hours.  I signed up to this a few months ago, but since then, 

As some of you are aware, over the past few months, my mother has been diagnosed with severe Dementia. 

It's something that's new to us and it's been hard to see how quickly things have changed for my mam. 

We are all doing as much as we can for her, aswell as trying to juggle everything else that goes on in our life's, so it's not possible to be there 24/7.  It's charities like this one that are so important for people like my mam, that can give that little bit of extra care that we can't. 

So I'm hoping by setting up this page that I can put that little bit extra in for someone else to benefit for the charities amazing work they do. 

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and we are very grateful for any donations that we receive.
