At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Hello everyone,

I had the crazy idea last year to sign up for the Yorkshire Marathon and with the training coming to an end I have decided that for all my efforts that it would great to raise some money for a great cause. I decided to support the Alzheimer’s Society which is a cause close to my heart given my father-in-laws recent diagnoses with the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Whilst we are still coming to terms with this diagnosis, the key is to support him in every way possible. Alzheimer’s affects many families, and it’s crucial to raise awareness and funds to support all those impacted and to advance research for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

Training for the marathon has been a tough journey especially with having a full time job and two young child. There have been late nights, long runs, and moments of doubt, but thinking of my father-in-law and the millions of others affected by this disease keeps me going. I am determined to cross that finish line, not just for myself, but for everyone who is facing this challenge.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Your support means the world to me and to all those affected by Alzheimer’s. Together, we can make a difference. Please consider donating to my JustGiving page and sharing it with your friends and family.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Thanks

Rob
