I'm running the 2023 London Marathon in honour of both my Nana & Grandma who both sadly lost their lives to Alzheimers.

I always had a very close bond with them and I want to do something that will make them proud, and also honour their memory.

Back in 2020 at the height of the COVID pandemic, I ran 5k every day throughout the month of May and raised close to £3,000. The support I was given during this from family, friends & colleagues was incredible and I'm hoping to get the same support this time around.

I'm by no means in shape, prior to commencing my marathon training I weighed in at just under 250lbs and wasn't able to run more than 2 miles without feeling the need to stop.

This is both a physical and mental challenge for me, but one I am proud to do in representing Alzheimers Society.

Thank you for reading my story.

George
