Story
We're walking a half marathon across London to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society to support our friend Rachael and her family.
We'd be so grateful if you can donate anything at all to help the nearly 1 million people already living with dementia in the UK, and help reduce the number of people affected in the future.
Here's a few words from Rach:
Two years ago, my family's world was turned upside down when my lovely Dad was diagnosed with cerebral amyloid angiopathy which is a form of dementia. Watching his decline has been heartbreaking but it has also inspired me to take action in the fight against the disease.
A group of some of my closest friends will be joining me on the walk. Without them I wouldn't be able to do it. So although it's the worst luck that my Dad has dementia, at the same time it's the best luck to have friends around me that are supporting me through this difficult period.
Please consider donating, your support would mean the world to me. Thank you.
Here's how the Alzheimer's Society will use your donations:
RESEARCH -
We know that research is key to ensure that dementia no longer devastates lives. That’s why right now, we’re backing the world’s brightest minds and funding over 600 research projects to find the best ways to get early diagnosis, innovate care and develop targeted treatments to change the landscape of dementia.
SERVICES -
We make living with dementia less frightening by making sure people don’t face dementia alone. Through our support line, online and print information, expert dementia advisers and online community, we give advice and practical guidance for the next steps as people living with dementia navigate the hardest times of their lives.
INFLUENCING CHANGE -
We hold decision-makers to account, using evidence and working with thousands of campaigners to amplify the voices of everyone living with dementia to make dementia the priority it should be.
THANK YOU!
