Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Here we go again, after 2017's London Marathon disaster, I
thought I'd enter the ballot knowing I had no chance.......well how
wrong was I? Got in.....great news, no damn, no......I don't really
know. Training was going fine and then guess what? I broke my 5th Metatarsal, 4 weeks before this years race so have had to defer until 2019.......so I'm keeping this page open until next years run.....assuming some other disaster doesn't befall me before then.......  :- )

It would be churlish not to try and raise some money for
Alzheimer's so here we go again. A 57yo bloke, who should know better
trying to raise a few quid to get rid of Alzheimer's, dementia and
whatever else out of our lives for good.

My Dad had a number of health problems, however he suffered from Alzheimer's in his later life. My Dad was a lovely chap without a bad bone and was much loved by everyone he came into contact with. Please help me support the Alzheimer's Research in beating this horrible illness.

Some info below, please read....

Over 850,000 people live with Dementia in the UK and that number is rapidly rising


At £24 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined but over two thirds of the care for Dementia patients is paid for by themselves or their family.


 *         £20 pays for 1 hour of pioneering dementia research.


 *       £100 could provide the tools for scientists to map 10,000 genes in
minute detail, identifying targets for the development of new
treatments.


 *        £500 will cover the cost of a sensitive brain scan for a patient involved in a research study, tracking the effectiveness of new drug treatments, improving diagnosis and better understanding how diseases like Alzheimer’s wreak their havoc in the
brain.


 *        £1000 will pay for reagents, unique
chemicals that are crucial for successfully growing cells in a
laboratory ready for disease study.


 *        £2500 will
allow researchers to buy synthetically made amyloid, to better
understand this hallmark Alzheimer’s protein in the lab.

Thank you and much love to you all x
