Fifty million around the world people live with dementia including my grandma. This is a horrifically mentally debilitating disease which in turn effects the whole family. I believe it is preventable with early intervention of those at risk before disease onset. To tackle the diseases that lead to dementia will take an effort of enormous magnitude and global reach. Essential in the challenge is the fundraising that fuels vital research. 

Prevent dementia around the world is a most ambitious fundraising campaign, involving many individuals. From February 2019 to February 2020, between us, we will cover a combined distance of 40,075km. The equivalent to running all the way around the equator of the earth.

I would like to contribute my training miles to this ambitious campaign and also to ask friends/family to donate to this worthy cause and this will give me the drive i need to get through this mental obstacle course. Check it out at:

Every penny raised will support the PREVENT Dementia Research Programme led from the University of Edinburgh. Our goal is to find new ways to detect the earliest changes in the brain long before symptoms appear. Our aim is to predict who is at greatest risk of dementia and develop strategies to intervene and slow or prevent the disease.

Run. Raise awareness. Fund research. Change lives
