Every three minutes, someone develops dementia. We can beat it, but we cant do it alone. Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted in their community.Every penny you donate is making sure we can be there for people affected by dementia.

I work as a court of protection solicitor and I have seen first hand the devastating effect Alzheimer's disease has upon individuals and their loved ones. Alzheimer's robs a person of their memories, independence and sense of self. Eventually it kills. Together, we can help to bring reassurance, comfort and hope to those who desperately need it.  Having raised money for Alzheimer's society before, I wanted to raise the bar and running the London marathon has been a lifelong dream! I would be grateful if you would all give generously for this worthy cause. (will CONSIDER shaving head as a last-ditch attempt for sponsors..)
