13th May 2027 marks 10 years since we lost the local legend & my grandad, known to most as Laurie Rawling.

An unbelievable amount has changed in our lives since his passing & life moves very quickly but we never forget 💙

On the 18th April 2027 I'll be running the Manchester marathon in honour of him. As some will know, in the final years of his life my grandad was diagnosed with vascular dementia, a terminal medical condition caused by progressive diseases of the brain.

To all of us, it felt as though we lost him twice, once when he forgot who we were & a second time when he passed on to whatever happens next on this journey.

Dementia is the UK's biggest killer & devastates families. 1 in 3 people born today in the UK will develop dementia in their lives which is a scary thought...

I'll be running in aid of the Alzheimer's Society, a charity dedicated to researching & ending that devastation caused by dementia.

Any & all support is greatly appreciated!

Big love,

Jack Lawrence Rimmo💙. X

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future.
