I will be taking on the Peak District Ultra Challenge in July 2024 for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Having completed 10km’s every day in December 2021, run a number of half marathons a couple of marathons, I needed to raise the bar for my next challenge & I will be completing 73km (45mille) , including 1500 elevation, as quickly as possible, in one go!!!!!

To give you an indication how hard this challenge will be, as part of my training, I will be walking the Yorkshire 3 peaks. (completed 25th May)

A team of 22 people from the Aviva Claims Supply Chain Team are taking on the challenge and we will be supporting two amazing charities - Alzheimer's Society and WWF_UK

All your kind donations will go to the Alzheimers Society, the UK's leading dementia charity. They provide information and support to people affected by dementia, fund research into finding a cure and improving care, and campaign for change and awareness. Dementia is a condition that affects millions of people in the UK and around the world, and it can have a devastating impact on their lives and those of their loved ones. We have seen how Alzheimer's disease can rob someone of their memory, personality and dignity, and we want to help end this cruel disease.

As well as supporting the Alzheimers Society, we are also proud to be part of Aviva's fundraising campaign for WWF_UK, the world's leading conservation organisation & other members of my teams donations will be Severe weather events, flooding and storms that used to be once in a generation are now happening far more frequently, we see the damage and disruption this causes first-hand, so we want to try to help make our communities more resilient. Climate change and its implications for our customers, our families, our communities, and for our natural world, is the one of the biggest challenges facing us all. WWF_UK works to protect the natural environment and the wildlife that depends on it, tackling the root causes of environmental problems, such as climate change, deforestation and overfishing, and promote sustainable solutions for people and nature.

How will your donations will help?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia in the UK. Dementia refers to a group of symptoms associated with a gradual decline in brain functioning, affecting memory, thinking skills, and other mental abilities.

Approximately 900,000 people in the UK currently live with dementia.

The likelihood of developing dementia increases significantly with age:

1 in 14 people aged over 65 have dementia.

1 in 6 people aged over 80 are affected by dementia

The Alzheimer’s Society in the UK utilises your donations to make a significant impact in the lives of those affected by dementia, including support services such as access to a Telephone Dementia Adviser, and groundbreaking research.

But we can't do it alone. We need your help to reach our fundraising goal and show our solidarity with both the Alzheimer's community and WWF_UK. By donating to our Team, you will not only support us in our Challenge, but also contribute to a cause that is close to our hearts and crucial for our society and the environment. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference.

Thank you in advance for your support.
