Morrisons Great Manchester Run 2015 · 10 May 2015 ·
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
This started after a gin heavy conversation on NYE 2014, julie said something about wanting to run more in 2015, I said something about running another race and it resulted in this. We were doing the Manchester 10k!!!! Woohoo!!! What we weren't sure on was what cause we would run for? Sad events that have happened since these initial plans made our choice a clear one.
Everyone knows someone who suffers from or has lost someone to dementia. It is a confusing, frustrating, and upsetting condition that affects not just the individual, but everyone around them. Sad facts are that 1in 14 adults will be affected by some form of dementia in their lifetime. Yet so little is known about this disease. The Alzheimer's Society funds vital research projects, runs training schemes such as Dementia Friends, that help carers, and families understand more about this awful disease. Because the more we understand, the more we can help those through their journey of dementia.
So please help us raise money to help fund this very important charity. Needless to say there will be plenty of gin for us after the run to raise a glass to loved ones lost to this killer. Help us reach our target of £400. Go on. It's totally worth it.
Thanks very much.
