Hi, I'm Ellie and I will be running the London Marathon 2024 to raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

The thought of running 26 miles is extremely nerve-wracking. After doing a couple of half marathons I can't even imagine running that same distance again especially all by myself (normally Dad will be running alongside me but his knees aren't what they used to be!) so this will definitely be the ultimate challenge for me.

I will however be running for an extremely important cause. My lovely Grandma Peggy sadly passed away after suffering with dementia and my Uncle Rob has also been diagnosed with dementia at the age of 55.

Every 3 minutes dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is the only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia.

Alzheimer's Research is the UK's leading dementia research charity. It exists for a cure.

Your donation helps scientists and researchers find new ways to diagnose dementia, develop new treatments and find a cure for dementia.

I would be so grateful if you could donate to support this incredible charity which is very close to my heart and the incredible work they do to.
