In July our family lost the most wonderful Mum to this horrible disease at just 69 years of age. We lost the most brilliant person from our lives, taken far too soon and with so Much still to give. Even at 43 years of age the world seems a more lonely place without your Mum in it. This didn’t need to be the case. Better understanding of her symptoms by both her and her GP may have meant more timely diagnosis and treatment. 

I am running to raise Money to support this cause and perhaps help prevent somebody else losing a loved one in this way. Here is a little bit on what they do…
