Story
**This JustGiving page is managed jointly by both Frank Rothwell and Alzheimer’s Research UK. **
On 15 February 2024, Oldham Athletic A.F.C’s Chair, Frank Rothwell completed the 3,000-mile solo row across the Atlantic in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
This is the second time Frank has completed the challenge, known as the World’s Toughest Row, for the charity.
Because if nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia. We will either develop it ourselves, care for someone with it, or both.
Frank wants to stop dementia from robbing us of everything that matters. Our memories. Our connections. Our story.
Alzheimer’s Research UK exists for a cure, and we won’t stop until everyone is free from the heartbreak of dementia.
Iceland Foods Charitable Foundation generously match-funded the first £100,000 of donations made to this fundraising page. All donations made to this page will go to Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Thank you, Frank, for standing with us for a cure.
A message from Frank:
I’m not frightened of anything except getting dementia. Thank you very much for your donation. It really means the world to me and to Alzheimer’s Research UK.
