I am running the Bath Half Marathon for the first time this year in aid of the Alzheimers Society. Your donations will help to support people with dementia and fund research into the causes of and cures for the disease. My grandpa has recently been diagnosed with vascular dementia which has made me want to try and help and improve the lives of people suffering from the disease. Your donations will be greatly appreciated.

In the last two months I've sprained both of my ankles (on seperate occasions!) but they are healing up and today I went for my first run! I have a feeling it's going to take a lot of work to run the full 13 miles without collapsing though!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
