Great North Run
Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Story
So I
am doing the Great North Run this year to raise money for the Alzheimer's
Society.
In
the UK there are 700,000 people with dementia, this figure does not include the
large number of sufferers who have not been diagnosed - of whom there are
many. The Alzheimer's Society is a care and research charity which
strives to improve the quality of life of people with dementia and those who
care for them. The Society also strives to influence government policies
and raise awareness of the challenges faced by people with dementia and the
people who care for them whilst pursuing the ultimate goal of finding a cure.
Alzheimer's is not a kind disease. The resources and help that is available is limited and this is why I have chosen to support and raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society. I hope that the money I raise will in some small way help to improve the lives of those affected by dementia.
