Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
In July I will be facing one of the toughest challenges I have ever done. Last year I covered 980 miles on my weekly social cycle, but this year I will be covering 875 miles in just 9 days as we travel from Lands End to John O'Groats. The training has started but I still have alot of work to do as 100 miles a day in the saddle will be the longest I have ever done in one ride !
Living with Dementia is also a daily challenge and one that far too many of my closest friends and my own family have witnessed first hand. This is a condition that robs you of your loved ones as you would prefer to remember them and sadly you can do nothing but watch as over time their own memories fade.
None of us know what is around the corner. In the last decade the mortality rate for Dementia and Alzheimers has increased. By 2030 the global amount of deaths due to dementia is expected to rise to 40 percent. This is a disease that has no form of treatment to prevent, cure or slow its progression.
Dementia Uk provide support to families and carers living with those affected by Dementia. I would like to raise as much as I can to donate towards the support given to those families in need.
