Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mum died last July after sadly suffering from terrible dementia in her final years. Both myself and Mum's carers were at our wit's end trying to work out what to do, as Mum's behaviour became more and more distressing. One call to an Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK was worth its weight in gold, giving me valuable information to take to Mum's GP. The GP and social care team took on board Dementia UK's advice, and we were able to change Mum's medication to ensure she was much less agitated and happier in her final months. I was so glad I rang Dementia UK. They were incredibly supportive during an extremely difficult time, so I wanted to do something to help raise some cash.

It's been 13 years since I last ran a 1/2 marathon, so I thought I'd give it another go. I doubt I'll beat my 2012 time, but I'm aiming to do this one in under 2.5 hours. It will hopefully help to banish a few demons and clear my head, in a Forrest Gump kind of way... if that makes sense..
