Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know I lost my dear Mum in April 2021 to this awful disease. Seeing her go from being an active happy lovely lady to a skeleton of herself and not eating or drinking was heartbreaking. 

So I wanted to raise some money for Dementia U.K. in honour of my Mum. I know she would think what the hell are you doing, you don’t even like running! But I’m going to give it a go… and hopefully make it to the finish line!! 

I know times are hard but every little helps 😊

Thanks so much

Karen xx
