Run the Hackney Half Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Story

We’re running a half marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK, a cause that means a lot to us. Like many people, we’ve seen the devastating effect of dementia, so we wanted to do something to support the work being done to find a solution.

This will be a first for both of us, Matt having picked up running again in the summer and Sarah signing up to this before she even owned a pair of running shoes. We cannot quite believe we are set to complete a half marathon so soon after.

Anything you can do to contribute will be greatly appreciated!

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.
