Watching a loved one slowly fade away due to dementia is an experience that leaves an indelible mark on the heart. It is profoundly heartbreaking to witness someone so special, once vibrant and full of life, gradually lose their essence day by day. This journey is not just painful for those who are directly affected but also for family and friends who feel helpless as they watch their loved ones struggle.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we are dedicated to creating a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We provide essential support to those living with dementia today, ensuring they receive the care and understanding they deserve. Our mission extends beyond immediate assistance; we strive to foster hope for a brighter future where families can cherish their memories without the shadow of this illness looming over them.

As I prepare to participate in the Great North Run 2025 on September 7th, I am reaching out to you for your support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by dementia. Your generous contributions will help fund vital research and support services that can change lives. Please join me in this important cause and help us pave the way towards a future free from the burdens of dementia.
