Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page. I am excited to share that I will be participating in the Berlin Marathon on September 21, 2025, to raise funds for Alzheimer’s & Dementia Support Services (ADSS). This cause is incredibly close to my heart, as it impacts so many lives and families.

Everyone that knows me knows that i’m not a huge fan of running.. so what do I do…. sign up for the Bmw Berlin Marathon … Why not!!

Our family like many has been hit by the cruel disease of both Alzheimers & Dementia. To watch what once were strong vibrant people have their world change is heart wrenching. Equally heartbreaking to watch loved ones suffer helplessly. No

Every day, countless individuals face the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia, and they need our support now more than ever. By donating through JustGiving, you are not only making a secure contribution but also joining a community dedicated to making a difference. Your generous support will help provide essential services and resources for those affected by these conditions.

I have set a target of £1,000 to help ADSS continue their vital work. Together, we can create a brighter future for those living with dementia and their loved ones. Please consider making a donation today; every pound counts and brings us one step closer to our goal. Thank you for your kindness and support! 💜💜💜
