Story

This year, I am participating in the London Marathon on behalf of Prime Appointments to support Alzheimer's Society. Those who know me well are aware that I have completed numerous half marathons in the past, but this challenge will undoubtedly push my body beyond its previous limits.

Alzheimer's Society is the chosen charity of Prime Appointments, driven by the Managing Director, Robyn Holmes, after Margaret (The other co-founder) was diagnosed at the age of 51. The company has committed to raising awareness and donating funds to aid those affected by Alzheimer's. Currently, they have raised an impressive £203,000 on their journey towards the £250,000 goal.

I am motivated not only by this cause but also by that of my friends who have been affected by Alzheimer's in recent years. I dedicate this run to them as well.

Throughout this epic adventure, I aim to take you all along with me as I navigate the highs, lows, and extreme chaos of training, striving to overcome both literal and metaphorical bumps in the road.

Any contribution you can spare will be greatly appreciated. As an additional incentive, you can choose a song to be added to my training playlist (please be nice), and I will listen to it once a week during my training runs. Simply include your song choice in the comments when you make your donation.

By donating to this page, and donating funds in support of Alzheimer’s Society, you will be helping to ensure that people living with dementia do not have to face the condition alone. The money raised will be helping to provide investment in ground-breaking research and better ways of treating and caring for people with dementia.

Thank you in advance for your support and for donating towards a worthwhile cause

PS: Kindly keep your comments and suggestions clean, as this will be linked to my work's team page.
