Manchester Half Marathon 2025 · 12 October 2025 ·

Take on the Manchester Half Marathon and get ready to feel the exhilaration and the exhaustion of a challenging run. And as you cross the finish line, you'll feel sublime, knowing you're helping people living with dementia.

Story

My husband Richard was diagnosed with atypical Alzheimer’s dementia at the age of 61. He has no insight into his condition and it feels to be progressing quickly. This has devastated our family and our sadness for him is immense.

We need to support research into this horrible disease to reduce and ultimately prevent its prevalence
