Story
A close family member was diagnosed with dementia just over 5 years ago and I have seen the impact this has had. I turn 50 this year and I wanted to challenge myself by running a marathon (something I have never done before) and try to raise some money for a good cause at the same time. I am running for the Alzheimer’s Society because they are working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives and I would like to raise money to help them achieve this. I am not an active runner and to be honest prefer going on walks with my wife. I hope to run my first marathon as close to 4 hours as possible but I know this is a tough goal.
