Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Several months ago I decided to enter the Bupa London 10k run, in order to raise some much needed money for the Alzheimer's Society. I've firsthand experience of the cruel effects that Alzheimer's can have on an individual, and indeed on those who care for them. As you will know I am no athlete, so this seemingly simple task is really putting me to the test, a test which is now only days away! I don't make a rule of sending begging letters, but in this case I implore you to give anything you can spare to help fund this noble cause.

 

 

A bit about the charity...

 

Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them.

There are 750,000 people with dementia in the UK with numbers set to rise to one million by 2025.

Alzheimer's Society is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Many of our 25,000 members have personal experience of dementia, as carers, health professionals or people with dementia themselves, and their experiences help to inform our work.

The Society's fight for a better world for people with all types of dementia takes a wide range of forms. Through our network of local services, we touch the lives of over 30,000 people every week, providing practical services and support for people with dementia and their carers. Every year, more than a million people make use of the information we provide.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and put up a few quid.

 

Cheers!
