Bradley's 2024 Challenge for Alzheimer's Society
Bradley Smith is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
Story
Dear friends and supporters,
I am embarking on a journey that's deeply personal and profoundly meaningful to me in aid of a very good cause.
On 26th April, I will be taking on the first of 3 challenges i have set myself in 2024.The Welsh 3 Peaks Challenge – a demanding trek across the Welsh countryside where i climb Snowdon, Cadair Idris & Pen y Fan.
On the 25th May I will be attempting the 3 peaks challenge which includes the 3 highest peaks in the UK, Snowdon, Ben Nevis & Scaffel Pike, all 3 in 24 hours!
On June 21st, I will be heading to the French/Italian border to summit both Gran Paradiso & Mont Blanc.
This isn't just about conquering mountains; it's about conquering a devastating disease that has affected my family and countless others. I'm climbing to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's Society, a UK-based charity dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
Why Alzheimer's Society:
Alzheimer's disease has touched my family in a way that's difficult to put into words. I've witnessed the heart-wrenching impact of this condition on several members of my family and the families of those close to me. Its a relentless battle which currently only has 1 winner resulting in a painful journey for everyone involved.
Imagine for one moment looking at your family, wife, girlfriend, partner, children... and not recognising them.
Imagine not remembering how to do standard everyday tasks, slowly losing your normal bodily functions.
Just the thought is enough for most of us... imagine living it.
That's why I've chosen to support Alzheimer's Society. They are at the forefront of the fight against Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. They provide invaluable support to those living with the condition, as well as their families and carers. They're also actively involved in funding research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure. By contributing to Alzheimer's Society, you'll be helping to improve the lives of those affected by dementia and bring us closer to a future where no one has to endure the heartbreak of Alzheimer's.
How You Can Help:
I'm reaching out to ask for your support in two ways:
Donations: Every pound, dollar, or euro you can spare will make a significant difference. Your donation will go directly to Alzheimer's Society to support their essential work. Scientists, Specialists and Carers all have to be paid, they have to live too... without these intelligent, dedicated and amazing people we would have no hope of a cure!
Spread the Word: Please share this fundraising page with your friends, family, and colleagues. The more people we can reach, the closer we'll get to our fundraising goal.
Every penny goes to Alzheimer’s society - i am funding all the activities myself.
