Hello, I am running my third (and final) marathon, in Brighton on Sunday April 12th 2026. The training has taken about 11 months, and I am raising money for Dementia UK charity who help individuals and families trying to cope with one of the cruelest conditions, which robs people of their memories and ability to function on a day to day basis.

Our Dad is in a care home with Dementia, and after a lifetime in the Home Office where, amongst other roles, he gave advice to Parliamentary committees on legal proceedures, he now just sits in his room gazing towards his window with no idea of where he is, or who anyone is.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you.
