Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On new years eve 2011 my Dad passed away in a nursing home.  Sadly his quality of life had deteriorated over a number of years due to dementia.  Eventually, he lost his mobility and spent his final few months in a Aaron Court in Ellesmere Port.  It is during this time that we witnessed the pain of dementia and the impact on friends and family who gradually become strangers.

I looked on his death as a relief as he was no longer suffering and it was during the following months when I took up running to help beat 'the downers'.  I have never run in my life and now I'm going for a half marathon.
