Story

Just before the start of the pandemic in March 2020, my dad was diagnosed  with Vascular Dementia. Since then he’s kept well however over time I know that we’ll start to see even more of a deterioration in his memory and health. 

Living so far away there’s not a lot I can do to help, so have decided to use the month of October (his birthday month) to aim to raise as much money as I can for Dementia UK. 

Not long after he was diagnosed, I completed couch to 5k and have continued running/jogging since.  I’m challenging myself in the month of October to complete at least 60kms of running.  I’ll never be the fastest (by a long stretch! ) but want to challenge myself and do my bit. Please donate if you’ve a spare few pennies.
