Story

Hi everyone 👋

Amy and Chris here!

Together, we are taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon in aid of Dementia UK on the 12th of October, 2025.

We are doing this in memory of our Grandpa who had Alzheimer’s and who sadly passed away last October. This journey is also in honour of our other Grandad who has recently been diagnosed with dementia, and our family on both our Mum and Dad’s sides, who have faced or are facing the emotional rollercoaster that dementia brings along with it.

Seeing our Grandpa, Grandad and family go through the challenges that dementia presents has been so incredibly sad, and so, supporting Dementia UK means a lot to us both.

Dementia UK is a specialist dementia nurse charity. Their nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care to families affected by all forms of dementia. They help individuals with dementia stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. These dedicated professionals have the time to listen and the expertise to help to solve problems, empowering families to take back control when they are struggling.

We are aiming to raise at least £1250 between us for this important cause. Your support can help ensure that more families receive the care and support they need. Please consider donating to our fundraising pages for Dementia UK at the Royal Parks Half Marathon 2025.

We would really appreciate your support!

Thank you ☺️
