I am no scientist or renowned doctor so the best I can do in trying to end this horrible disease is to raise money for those that can.

I have a personal experience with dementia as my Grandad had it before passing away in 2018 and I saw the effects it can have on the person as well as the surrounding family.

For those that know me, I am a massive Ipswich Town fan so have pledged to run the marathon in a Norwich shirt to help raise some more money.

Never ran a marathon before so this is quite a challenge for me but the crippling pain in my legs will be worth it and will probably still be more enjoyable than watching Ipswich this season.
