Having worked in care for the last 20 years, I have seen the effects of dementia on thousands of people. If we can find a cure, it will help so many people. Statistically, 1 in 2 people in the UK will be touched by dementia, either personally or a close loved one.

I want to challenge myself to something that seems crazy but also achievable.

Every 3 minutes dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is our only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia.

Alzheimer's Research UK is 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.
