We’re delighted to announce for the second year in a row, our charity of the year is Alzheimer’s Research UK.

This September, I’m taking on the South Downs and Seven Sisters 3-Day Challenge, walking 70km in memory of my beloved grandfather, who sadly passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2008.

He was a kind, gentle soul who meant the world to our family. Watching him slowly fade away was heart-breaking, and since then, I’ve longed for a way to honour his memory and help make a difference for others affected by this cruel disease.

Alzheimer’s doesn’t just steal memories – it steals moments, identities, and connections. But research brings hope.

By donating, you’ll be helping to fund vital research into prevention, treatment, and ultimately a cure. Every step I take will be for my grandfather and the millions of families impacted by dementia.

Please give what you can. Every pound makes a difference.

Thank you so much for your support, together, we can make a significant difference in the fight against dementia.
