Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After doing several half marathon's, I am finally gaining the courage to go all the way and nail a full one! all for a great course as well-Alzheimers Research UK. After seeing first-hand what this condition does to a loved one, I am compelled to assist with the fundraising the charity needs so it can prevent or manage people who are diagnosed with Alzheimers.

My training has been hard, my knees are aching every time I run from old football injuries but its not anywhere near as hard as living with Dementia or watching someone you know and love live with it. Its pretty devastating and that's putting it mildly and that's why I am running the York Marathon 2015 for Alzheimers Research. I am nowhere near ready for this-but I am determined to finish the marathon knowing your charity has helped me along the way.

Please donate what you can-I would be chuffed with £2! Thanks for reading x
