Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am running the Great South Run (21/10/2018) and the London Landmarks Half Marathon (24/03/2019) to raise funds for Alzheimer's Research UK.
Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. It shatters lives and leaves millions heartbroken. Dementia is set to become the UK's biggest killer and there is currently no cure and too many are facing it alone.
Fortunately, something can be done. Research has the power to defeat dementia so that it no longer destroys lives. Alzheimer's Research UK is committed to finding a cure, improve the care of sufferers and offer help and understanding to families and carers. There is progress being made, but more work is still needed.
Your support helps fund vital, pioneering research into the fight to eradicate the diseases that cause dementia. Every minute of research is so important, because only research will defeat dementia and stop it destroying so many lives. That is why in the last twenty years, ARUK has committed over £60m to dementia research.
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 Alzheimer's Research UK. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
