Story

I'm proud to be joining #TeamARUK in the 2024 London Landmarks Half Marathon.

My father Michael was diagnosed with dementia last year, and I have since witnessed the devastating impact that this has had on both himself and his family. I have therefore decided to run the 13 miles around London in his honour. I'm aiming to raise £100 for every mile I run, and need your help to do it! 

By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK and my fundraising, you’re helping to fund the life-changing research that will lead us to better treatments, and ultimately, a cure for dementia. As a dementia researcher myself, I get to see first-hand the massive impact that fundraising schemes such as this can have. Even the smallest donation can make a difference.

Thanks for your support and see you at the starting line in April!
