I will attempt to complete 28 miles each week in February. Why? In memory of my Dad (who died 26 years ago as a result of this disease) and because of the following:

We've all been touched by Alzheimers or unfortunately likely will be at some point in the future, whether it's a close relative or friend.

If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – ether by developing the condition ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both.

As the UK’s leading dementia research charity, we’re determined to stop this from becoming a reality.

We’re working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there.

With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia. We exist for a cure.
