Run For Mum 2026

Michael Bates is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
In memory of Mary Bates

Great Manchester Run 2026 · 31 May 2026 ·

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

My mum passed away in 2020 from Alzheimer's and I can't believe it's been 6 years. It seems like only yesterday when I was sat beside her holding her hand. She was an amazing lady and no words can express just how much family and friends miss her. We think about her every single day and she is forever in our hearts.

When my mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, it was a crushing blow to both family and friends alike. It's a cruel disease that literally steals the person you love from you.

Alzheimer’s disease is a physical illness which damages a person’s brain. This eventually causes dementia, affecting memory and thinking. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia.

Every 3 minutes someone in the UK develops dementia.

I'm raising money for Alzheimer's Society who are the UK’s leading dementia charity. They give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground-breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Please help me make a difference!
