Story

✨Hey - thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. ✨

I am so excited to announce that I will be running the London Marathon on Sunday April 23rd 2023 in support of Alzheimer's Research UK. As you may know, this is a cause that is very close to my heart, as I have seen firsthand the devastating impact that dementia can have on individuals and their loved ones.❤️ 

👟 I am running the marathon to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer's Research UK, in the hope that one day we can find a cure for this devastating disease. I have set a fundraising goal of £3,000 and I am asking for your support in helping me reach this goal.

Currently, there is no cure for dementia and existing treatments
can only temporarily alleviate symptoms. By supporting research into
dementia, we can help to improve the lives of those affected by the
disease and potentially find a cure in the future. ❤️ 

Did you know that the damage caused by Alzheimer’s can lead to a brain weighing around 140g less than a healthy one – that’s about the weight of an orange. If I reach my fundraising goal I will complete the marathon dressed as an orange! 🍊

Every penny donated makes a difference in the fight against dementia. I am so grateful for any support that you can give to help me reach my fundraising goal and support the important work of Alzheimer's Research UK. If you would like to donate, you can do so by visiting my Just Giving fundraising page. 🙏🏼

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. I am looking forward to taking on this challenge and I am hoping to make a positive impact in the fight against dementia. 🍊

Much love, Elena ❤️
