Welcome and thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page!

I appreciate any donations you can spare as I run the London Landmarks half marathon on Sunday 7 April in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK to help them find more treatments and cures for this cruel disease.

I ran the London Marathon in 2015, this will be my first official half-marathon 🏃‍♀️

I am raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK due to the impact of dementia affecting two of my family members over the past few years. 

Early-onset dementia is when people under the age of 65 are diagnosed and this affects between 5-6% of the population. We think of Alzheimer's as a disease that only affects the elderly, and it is easy to miss the signs when someone is much younger. 

Research shows there are more than 850,000 people in the UK who have dementia. One in 14 people over the age of 65 have dementia, and the condition affects 1 in 6 people over 80.

Do add Gift Aid if you can as for every £1 donated with Gift Aid, Alzheimer’s Research UK gets an extra 25p from the government at no extra cost to you!
