Story

🎶 3-HOUR ORGAN MARATHON FOR ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH

Hello. My name is John, and I’m a third-generation organist. Over the past 60 years, I’ve had the joy of playing music all over the world. Now, I’m bringing that music home — to support an important cause.

I’ll be performing a 3-hour organ marathon, playing a selection of my favourite pieces, to help raise funds for Alzheimer’s research.

🧠 Why this matters: 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.

💛 How you can help: Any donation, large or small, would be greatly appreciated and will go towards this important cause. Please share our page to spread the word!

Thank you for your kindness and support — it truly means a great deal.

Warm regards, John
