Edinburgh Marathon 2025 · 25 May 2025

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 by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

🇵🇹🏃‍♂️🎉 “It’s never just about running” – Nós estamos a levar isto a sério! 😊

O que podemos fazer para tornar 2025 absolutamente épico?

Provavelmente nada… Contudo, decidimo-nos (João pai e João filho) inscrever numa maratona! E não é uma maratona qualquer. É a Maratona de Edimburgo, a 25 de maio de 2025. Quisemos, no entanto, criar algo mais do que um desafio físico: estamos a treinar (e a tropeçar!) para angariar 500£ para a Alzheimer Society. Porquê? Porque o puto mais novo é meio estrangeiro e porque a demência tocou a nossa família e amigos de perto e sabemos como esta causa merece todo o apoio possível. 💜

No nosso Instagram vão poder acompanhar tudo: treinos, conversas, as nossas melhores quedas e até "danças da vitória" (spoiler: antes mesmo de cruzarmos – se conseguirmos chegar a cruzar – a meta!). Queremos partilhar esta aventura com todos vocês e criar um espaço de boa disposição, enquanto juntos fazemos a diferença.

Juntem-se a nós nesta corrida – porque nunca se trata apenas de uma corrida!

🇬🇧🏃‍♂️🎉 ‘It's never just about running’ - We're taking it seriously! 😊

What can we do to make 2025 absolutely epic?

Probably nothing... However, we decided (João father and João son) to sign up for a marathon! And not just any marathon. It's the Edinburgh Marathon, on 25 May 2025. However, we wanted to create something more than a physical challenge: we're training (and stumbling!) to raise £500 for Alzheimer Society . Why is that? Because because dementia has touched our family and friends very closely and we know how this cause deserves all the support it can get. 💜

On our Instagram you'll be able to follow everything: training, conversations, our best falls and even ‘victory dances’ (spoiler: before we even cross - if we manage to cross - the finish line!). We want to share this adventure with all of you and create a space of good humour while together we make a difference.

Join us in this race - because it's never just about running!
