Alzheimer's is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting memory and cognitive function. It is estimated that over 50 million people have dementia with Alzheimers being the most common cause. Currently, there is no cure, but research is ongoing to better understand and treat the disease.

Everyday working for the NHS we see so many patients and families affected by alzheimers disease and the heartbreak and struggles it can cause. Most people, even if not affected directly by the disease will know of a friend, colleague or family member that have struggled with the effects of alzheimers.

On 22nd June 2024 myself and 2 of my colleagues, will be trekking a marathon (26 miles) up and across the Brecon Beacons to raise money for Alzheimers Society Uk. Any donation, no matter how big or small will help to fund future research, find further treatment for this awful disease and spur us over that finish line! 💙 xx
