A few months ago, my Dad - aged 69 this year - told me he was running the Royal Parks Half for Alzheimer’s Society in memory of my two late Grandpas - both of whom were effected by dementia. I couldn’t let him go it alone so here I am, ready to come out of long distance running retirement to run next to my Dad.

Alzheimer’s Society is working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

It does this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future.
