Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So here we are again! One last final London Marathon. As a Community Carer I see daily the awful impact dementia has on individuals and their families. To lose every part of one's self bit by bit to eventually not be able to complete the most basic of tasks is something no one should ever have to experience. If that wasn't enough to then lose all your memories, no longer know who you are or your family and friends are, is just downright scary and heartbreaking to witness. 

My pledge to continue to raise awareness and funds for research  has seen me go from a non runner in 2016 to taking on running events and 1000 mile yearly challenges, two London Marathons, which I still can't believe I've actually managed to do, numerous Half Marathons, give community talks and a Sky dive! Another thing I never thought I would be able to do.  All of this to raise funds for Alzheimer's Research UK. I have been rewarded with the privilege to run for ARUK one more time.  The charity place is very precious and all charity runners are asked to raise £2000. So any donations are very gratefully received and I thank you in advance for any support that you can give, it means an awful lot to me. I have been so lucky to have wonderful support in recent years, this will be my last London Marathon as its time to give another person the opportunity and I'm also getting a bit worn out!!

Please follow my adventures on my facebook page and I hope to do you all proud. Lots of Love from me! x
