Only 12 days to go! Please dig deep if you haven't sponsored me yet. I am running in aid of the Alzheimers Society! Many thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Here is why I am running for the Alzheimers Society.
Many years ago, when I was a fighting fit young lad, my Grandpa was suffering with Alzheimers. I failed to see at the time the impact that this was having on my family. Only now through talking about those troubled times do I understand the incredible strain placed upon my Gran, my mum and her brother and sister. Eventually my Grandpa lost his battle, and shortly afterwards my Grans heart gave in too.
This is now me doing my bit when it is the hardest it could be for me! On the 3rd of Jan this year I weighed over 16 stone and was not fit in any way! I now plan to not only run this event but to complete it in under 2 hours.
My doing this is to help other families who are going through what mine went through all those years ago.
Please give generously to a charity that is very close to my heart!
This is for you "Papa" and "Big Gran" xx
I am now including 2 other events for Alzheimers UK. I will be completing the Mens Health Survival of the fittest 10k assault course on 21st October and Market Drayton 10k run on 13th May.
