I'm running Leeds half marathon, and since my mum died of parkinson's and dementia on March 7th this year, I am raising money for this important charity in her name. Mum lived a rich and brave life, and didn't shirk in the face of a challenge. She also took up running in middle age, so I'm following her lead. It is a big length for me, so please give generously!

The Falmouth branch of the society was really important to mum and her wife during the middle years of her illness. They offer lots of support to people facing this illness and to their love ones.
