5x50 Makes it sound quite simple but in other words its . . 250,000 meters/175 miles over 7 weeks ! It will be tough but sooooo worth it :)
I have chosen to walk the 5k required everyday to complete the 5x50 challenge. To fit around work commitments I'll be doing this early morning most days so I'll keep everyone updated on facebook.
My chosen charity is Alzheimers Scotland. The charity supports a cause that effected the strongest link in our family chain. So I'm very excited to be giving something back :) Alzheimer's Scotland needs £10,000 of funding per day to run it's activities supported by nurses and workers. None of this is supported by the government so they rely purely on donations. Over 100,000 are diagnosed daily across Britain with the disease. The disease with no cure . . . Yet !
My main employer is signed up to the matched giving program so I have the potential to double the total donations ! Also there will be a small display in the balivanich and lochmaddy branches. If anyone would like any further info leaflets on dementia and the charity there will be some there.
We work hard at the Bank of Scotland to recognise customers who may struggle with dementia. We take pride in our care and attention to these customers.
Every little penny counts so a big thank you from me in advance for any donations and the encouragement to keep going.
