Hugh's Ironman for Alzheimer's
Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As you know I'm doing this years Ironman, I will be rasing money for the Alzheimers Society which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
2 summers ago my Grandmother passed away, after 7 years of living in a private care home, for the last 4 years of her life she had very little quality of life, not recognising her grandchildren, children and even her own husband.
Not all sufferers are fortunate enough to have private care, The Alzheimers Society helps to improve the lives of these people through the care they recieve, and also funds research into the cause, cure, and prevention of dementia to improve treatment for people today and to search for a cure for tomorrow.
Uk Ironman consists of 2.4miles of swimming followed by a 112mile cycle and then a marathon. Finishing times range from under 10 hours, to over 15 hours...I'm aiming for somewhere in the middle!
Any amount you donate will make a difference, £15 would be about 10p per hour of training I'm doing...all going to Alzheimers Society.
Thank you for looking,
Hugh
