Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Story
I am running the Air Run Half Marathon in order to support the Alzheimers Society. All money raised will go towards research into the treatment of Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disorder, whereby memory, the ability to think, and even the capacity to do the simplest of tasks, slowly deteriorates. In reality, this illness changes your loved ones before your eyes.
However, with increased funding, better treatment - including reducing the speed of the takeover of the disease- for sufferers may be available, increasing the quality of life for not only those who are diagnosed but also their close friends and family.
This is a subject very close to my heart, with my grandmother recently being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting my Nonna will know she has the biggest heart. Even if she doesn't understand social media or why on earth I'd want to exercise out of choice, I know she appreciates your support.
All donations are greatly appreciated, no matter how big or small!
Thank you! -- or as Nonna would say ''Grazie Mille!''
