Story

As all of you know, I hate running. It’s wrong, not fun and the epitome of being cruel to your body has to be doing a marathon. I’ve signed up though to raise money for Alzheimer's. Nicole lost her father to Alzheimer's after a long struggle which as any who have experience is awful for those suffering and their friends and family.

As Nicole can’t run herself due to long covid I am stepping up. I’m looking to you to help me raise this huge sum to get us further forward in the battle against Alzheimer's. Dig deep and think of how hard this training is going to be for me!!!

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

We are the UK's leading dementia research charity. We exist for a cure.

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