At 92 years old my mother is the most amazing person I have ever known. She has now been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and it is very difficult seeing her  struggle with forgetfulness and everyday tasks that most of us do automatically without a second thought.

I hope that taking part in the 10km walk will not only help raise funds but also an awareness and better understanding of the effects of living with Alzheimer's, and the excellent work the Alzheimer's Society do.
