My grandad was diagnosed a few years back! He has always been my inspiration and I really look up to him. He is like a father figure to me as I lost my biological father at a young age. I am doing this to support other families that are going through the same. My Grandad has mild stages of the disease currently and with sponsors hopefully we can keep his and others diseases milder for longer. I have so much respect for my Grandad and would do anything for him. Please donate and help families battle this awful disease. Love you lots Grandad! Roys Runner's all the way! <3

Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that’s the equivalent to one person every three minutes. This September and October Memory Walks will be taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to raise money for a world without dementia. Arm in arm, step by step and pound by pound, we will get there. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to the Alzheimer's Society. So it’s the most efficient way to raise money – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Please dig deep and help us walk for a world without dementia.
