Story

Hi All

It has been a while since I participated in any events for charity so when I was asked to help raise some funds for the Alzheimers Society I jumped at the chance.

Every pound that is raised will go to help people with dementia, their carers and families through the Alzheimers Society.

 

What causes Alzheimer's disease?

"So far, no one single factor has been identified as a cause for Alzheimer's disease. It is likely that a combination of factors, including age, genetic inheritance, environmental factors, lifestyle and overall general health, are responsible. In some people, the disease may develop silently for many years before symptoms appear."

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

 

This is a terrible illness and all the help no matter how big or small is appreciated, so please dig deep and donate now and help me reach or even exceed my target.

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in aid of Alzheimer Sociey.
