Story

****UPDATED****

I'm raising money for Dementia UK. My Dad had dementia before he passed away in January 2023 but like many people of his generation he suffered in silence. 

I'd like to raise awareness of this illness and promote the services that Dementia UK offers to sufferers and their families. 

Most people will know I already enjoy running. I planned to run 12 races this year in 12 months wearing the Dementia UK vest.

I'VE NOW WON A PLACE AT THE LONDON MARATHON IN APRIL 2024 SO I'VE INCREASED MY TARGET TO £2500 AND WILL NOW RUN 16 RACES IN 16 MONTHS.
