Alzheimer's is a horrific disease.

I lost my nan in 2007 after seeing her suffer for many years. To see someone you love slowly fade away and lose any memory or recollection of you is incredibly painful.

One of my biggest goals in life is to do what I can to rid the world of this disease so that no other family has to experience the sadness it brings with it.

Throughout August, I will attempt to run a total of 50 Miles to raise money for the Alzheimer's society.
