Life does not end when dementia begins!!

We are running a 5k obstacle course (The Adrenaline Rush, http://www.theadrenalinerush.com/), to raise as much money as possible for the Alzheimer’s Society who is the leading charity fighting against dementia. Dementia can happen to anyone and there's currently no cure. There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK and the number is set to rise to 1 million by 2021. This amazing charity provides information and support, funds medical and social research, and campaign for better quality of life for people with dementia and greater understanding of the condition. The Alzheimer's Society, are there for anyone affected by dementia, and do everything they can to keep people with dementia connected to their lives and the people who matter the most.

A few members of this running team are experiencing the effects of Dementia at first hand, as they continue to see a love one battle the obstacles of dementia every day. Everyone’s story of Dementia is different and unique, which makes the required support that little more difficult to determine. Support for charities such as Alzheimer’s Society, will ensure those diagnosed with Dementia live a good quality life, them and loved ones gain support and research into cause, cure and prevention can continue. The Alzheimer’s Society successfully support hundreds of thousands of people affected by dementia, here are 4 amazing stories of how support from Alzheimer's Society has helped these people continue living their lives as they want to, https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=3104&pageNumber=2.

Dementia can be a very dark time for those diagnosed and their loved ones… please help us to shine a light and sponsor us to continue the fantastic work this charity does.
