Story

I'm running the 2021 Cardiff Half Marathon on March 27th 2022 (postponed) 

After my 5km everyday of December raising money for the chairty mind I've been wanting to do more, so I have spontaneously decided to run the Cardiff Half Maraton:).

I am running this half marathon in memory of my Grampa, who passed away on the 1st July 2020, Grampa suffered with Dementia/Alzheimers towards the end of his life of which I experienced first hand when he moved in with us prior to Covid lockdown. So I thought it would be very fitting to raise money for Alzheimer's Society as this disease is close to my heart. 

Alzheimers is the most common form of demintia, more than 520,000 people in the UK have dementia caused by Alzheimer’s disease. So it is likely to affect you or someone close to you during your life time.

Please help me raise money for the Alzheimers Society so that more research can be done to prevent this disease from affecting our loved ones.

Edit: The Cardiff half marathon has been postponed until 2022., so I am going to run 2 half marathons. 1 on the 20th November 2021 along with the actual Cardiff half marathon in March 2022. 

If you are affected by Alzheimers and require support Alzheimers Society is just a call away at 0333 150 3456. 

United Against Dementia.
