My grandad was the beating heart of our family. From a difficult start in life, he worked selflessly and tirelessly to give his family a better life. Our success today is firmly rooted in his sacrifices - we truly stand on the shoulders of a giant. Despite all he achieved, however, he remained incredibly humble and generous.

For over 10 years, we helplessly watched him bravely battle Alzheimer’s disease. What began with small things such as misplacing his keys or repeating stories slowly became far more devastating. Over time, he began forgetting names, places, and eventually no longer recognising the people he loved most.

I’m running to raise money in his memory to support the vital research and services that Alzheimer’s Society provides. No family should have to go through this alone, and I hope that one day better treatments and ultimately a cure can spare others from experiencing the pain that Alzheimer’s brings.

Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much. Thank you for your support ❤️
