Experience running through the ‘city of love’ to help stand with us for a cure for dementia.

Story

I'm proud to be joining #TeamARUK in the 2025 Paris Marathon!

My father Michael suffered from vascular dementia and sadly passed away with the condition over Christmas 2023.

Last year I ran the London Landmarks Half-Marathon and managed to raise over £2000 for dementia research. I now want to go one step further and do a full marathon. I have therefore signed up to do the Paris Marathon in Spring 2025.

I'm aiming to raise £50 for every mile I run, and need your help to do it! I'm also running in Paris with my colleague and dementia researcher Tika Malla. Please support our team "CMD For A Cure!" so that we can raise as much money as we can for ARUK!

By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK and our fundraising, you’re helping to fund the life-changing research that will lead us to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for dementia. Even the smallest donation can make a difference. Watch and share the new film from ARUK: https://bit.ly/ARUKForACure

Thanks for your support and see you at the starting line in April!
