Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We’re raising money for a charity incredibly close to our hearts supporting people and families living with dementia. On Sunday 13th September, we’ll be taking on the Great North Run and tackling 13.1 miles to raise vital funds for Dementia UK, in memory of Grandma Pat and in support of the fight for Grandma Mary.

Lauren sadly lost her grandma to the illness in 2024, and Claire is currently experiencing the challenges of seeing her grandma live with dementia. Taking part in this run means a great deal to us, as we want to raise awareness and support for everyone affected by this illness.

As two people who can’t usually run very far, this is a big challenge. We’ve swapped our Aperol Spritz for running shoes and committed ourselves to training for this half marathon. Every step (and every blister) is for a cause that means the world to us.

Any donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and support.
