Previous I have run the marathon for cancer research, however this year I have decided to support another cause which is dear to my heart.

Scarily, the incidences of dementia are climbing in the UK, especially as more and more people are thankfully living longer. We all can think of people within our families and friends who had had to witness being treated like a stranger by someone they love - a truly heart breaking way to lose someone mentally first.

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
