As some of you may know Alzheimer's is an illness that has been felt keenly in my family in recent years. In 2021 we unfortunately lost my grandma, Winifred Ainsworth, due to covid. She suffered in the later years of her life with Alzheimer's which made her susceptible to the illness although, in some ways, it was a blessing that she left us whilst she still remembered us.

It is an illness that not only impacted her but also a number of people within her extended family.

In April next year I'm going to be running the Manchester Marathon in memory of her, my aim is to raise some money for Alzheimer's research whilst I'm at it so any donations you'd like to make would be amazing!

I have never ran a marathon before so this is a first for me!

Thanks for taking your time to read this!
