Every three minutes, someone develops dementia. We can beat it, but we cant do it alone.Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted in their community. Every penny you donate is making sure we can be there for people affected by dementia.

My grandmother Joyce had Alzheimer's disease during the latter part of her life and sadly died, following a fairly sharp deterioration to her mental and physical health, during the last few years of her life. 

I am running the London Marathon this year in memory of my grandmother, but also hoping to raise some much needed funds for the Alzheimer's Society, a charity who are dedicated to improving the lives of those suffering with this disease, both now and in the future.
