Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Story
On the 31st October this year, I will be taking part in a challenge of a lifetime by trekking 100km across the Sahara desert. Over the course of a week myself and 32 other Lloyds Bank colleagues will spend our days walking across the ever changing sand dunes in a bid to raise money and awareness for the Alzheimer's society.
It will prove a personally challenging experience for me on a number of fronts not least as there will be a need to improve my personal fitness and live a week without the many home comforts I know I've become far too accustomed with. That said my week of suffering is nothing to those and their families affected by dementia.
The funds raised will help us to launch 'Live Well' - the first UK-wide dementia carers programme. This pioneering campaign will provide life-changing support for people living with dementia, their families and carers.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. None of the funds I/we raise will go to funding this trip!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and for hopefully donating to this very worthy cause.
