We are taking part in the Bath half marathon March 2019.

I am attempting this as 3 years ago my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and is now living in a dementia nursing home.
I was struck by how indiscriminate the illness is and how helpless we remain in so many cases.
The last 3 years has been an eye opening journey and still going although a lot easier now with all the support available.
Everyday presents new challenges , some happy , some sad .

Anything that improves the world of dementia is definitely a step in the right direction.

A few months ago I decided to enrol with a PT , I wanted to improve my lifestyle and help with the emotional rollercoaster that I was on with my mum as I needed a distraction as I was really struggling with what was happening around me.
As I started to enjoy my sessions My PT Mike and I decided on a plan , completing a 10k bearing in mind I couldn’t run a mile without stopping several times ( don’t laugh ).
So then the next step was the Bath half marathon.
Dreams can become challenges
Challenges can become a reality.

I have asked Mike to run it with me as without his support , motivation and expertise, this dream wouldn’t have been possible.

This is for my Mum and the fantastic support that Alzheimer’s society provide.

I have been training with Ruth for a couple of months now and she has been looking for a goal to aim to. Ruth has decided to run the Bath half for 2 reasons, to push herself outside her comfort zone and to raise money for Alzheimer’s , which I know is very close to her heart.

I am joining Ruth as I have been there at the start of her journey and want to be there when she crosses the finishing line.,

It will mean we have completed her goal and also I feel that running for a charity that is doing all they can to provide support and asssistance to families in such difficult circumstances is how I can best support this worthwhile cause.

Let the journey commence.

Please help by donating just a little to this fantastic and worth while cause.

Thank you

Ruth & Mike
