My mother died with Alzheimers Disease at age 73. One of my greatest regrets is she didn't live long enough to meet my children.

My grandmother also died with AD. More and more of us will face it ourselves or with a loved one. My father in law suffered with another kind of fatal dementia. Chances are you know someone close to you who suffers from dementia.

I'm running London's Royal Parks Half Marathon on OCTOBER 7th. to continue support for AD research and for carers. AND, if you donate , I can't back out from my commitment to get back into running shape.

So help on both fronts.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thank you so much,

Susan
