Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. We’re striving for a cure, by revolutionising the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia.

Story

🧠 Running to Outrun Dementia

Dementia is the leading cause of death in the UK — and right now, there’s no cure.

We’re a team of scientists from Oxford and Reading Universities, working every day to change that. In our labs and clinics, we’re tackling dementia from every angle — but research needs more than science. It needs funding, awareness, and action.

That’s why we’re swapping our lab coats for running shoes and taking on the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday, October 12th — to raise money for life-changing dementia research.

Each of us has shared a short summary of our research.

👉 Check out our profiles, read our stories, and donate to the one that speaks to you most.

Every penny gets us closer to a world without dementia.

Thank you for supporting the science that gives hope.
