Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Im running Brighton Half Marathon because for those who know me well will know its a big challenge for many reasons, despite being a seasoned runner.
Im running for Alzeimers, becasue dimentai has touched so many lives I have come into contact with, but in particular one amazing woman who came in to my life almost 20 years ago one snowy night. Shes Johns Gran and ALex and Erin's Great Granny Briggs. She is a gutsy Scot like me, was as sharp as a tack, intelligent, funny kind and generous ti her loving family. I have many fond and funny memories of holidaying with her in Kos and Zante. Several years ago she was diagnosed with Dimentia, and slowly her health has deteriorated, although she still lives on her own, she has the care and support of her two daughters and close family. When Alex visits he is incredibly patient and kind, despite being asked the same question 20 times, he will answer it like the first. FOr the time being she still knows who I am when I visit, and that makes me smile deep inside.
So...please give generously, every little helps as they say to provide valuable funds for research and care for this silent disease.
