Story
Taking on Run Cheltenham 2025!
We're a motley crew of 13, made up of walkers, joggers, sprinters, and everything in between - united not by speed (definitely not), but by a shared goal: raising money for Alzheimer's Society, a charity close to each of our hearts. We've signed up to run the Run Cheltenham 2025 Half Marathon on the 21st September.
Some of us have loved ones affected by dementia. Some of us have had loved ones affected by dementia. And some of us just wanted to do something that matters (and maybe get a bit fitter in the process...emphasis on the word maybe).
We've all seen the way that dementia impacts not just individuals, but entire families. The confusion, the loss, the frustration; it's heartbreaking. But what is inspiring is the incredible work that the Alzheimer's Society does everyday across the UK.
- They support people living with dementia and their families.
- They offer helplines, local groups, and practical advice.
- They carry out life changing research towards better treatments, with the hope that one day there will be a cure.
- They tirelessly campaign to make the world a more dementia-friendly place.
We're training hard (dragging ourselves out in the rain, limping through cut toes and blisters, wondering what possessed us to sign up in the first place) because this cause really matters to us. And we want to do out bit to help.
If you can share a few quid, or even just share our page, you'll be helping fund the vital support and hope that Alzheimer's Society brings to thousands every year.
We might not break any world records, but together we're running (or walking...or hobbling) towards a future where dementia doesn't win.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for donating.
And wish our knees luck!
