Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Yes, once again I am putting myself through the humiliation of running 10k through the streets of Manchester. Anyone who has ever seen me run will know that I am not a natural, with my flicky out feet. I am also not one of those fortunate people who looks effortly graceful and elegant whilst running. That said, the Alzheimer's Society is very close to my heart and I am happy to subject myself to the humiliation in the hope of raising some much needed funds for this hugely important charity. Alzheimer's is increasingly becoming THE major health issue of our time, and it is a race against the clock to find effective treatment and hopefully a cure. If the funds raised from this race speed up this process by a single minute, and save one single family from the pain of this illness, it will be worth it.

One final thing, you may not be able to afford to sponsor very much and wonder how your few ppounds could help, the Alzheimer's Society received over £1,000,000 for the BUPA great run series last year, all made up of small amounts from people like you.
