After a slightly drunken conversation last year I agreed to join two friends climbing Ben Nevis, Scarfell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (the mountain formerly known as Snowdon) over three days. We’ve done a bit of training (although for me that’s been mainly running on flat roads) and we’re up for the challenge this bank holiday weekend. It looks like it might be a bit wet but, hey! If you fancy helping to make it more worthwhile by sponsoring me I would really appreciate it. Dementia is a disease that has touched our family recently, so let’s see if we can help the clever scientists make it go away!

Every 3 minutes dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is our only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia.

We are the UK's leading dementia research charity. We exist for a cure.

Your donation helps our scientists and researchers find new ways to diagnose dementia, develop new treatments and find a cure for dementia.
