Story
Hello there!!
It was exactly one year ago that I was asked to participate in the Virgin 2019 London Marathon to raise awareness and most importantly funds for Dementia Revolution (a joint venture of Dementia UK and Alzheimers Society for 2019).
I was very proud to complete the marathon in just under 6 hours having raised £15,680 for this amazing charity. It was an amazing day (albeit a little tiring) but the crowds, bands and amazing support along the way made it one of the most enjoyable days ever, and most importantly the support of my donors and my running partner Jake were the icing on the cake.
Since that day I have run the New York Marathon on November 3rd finishing in 6 hours 5 mins for an addiction charity raising £10,000 and now I'm once again participating in the Virgin London Marathon 2020!!!!
What's so very special about this run is that when I finally cross the finish line on April 26th I will have completed 3 full marathons in just under 12 months....yes, I did say 3 in less than 12 months!!!! My own personal Hat Trick!!!!!!
This is something I'm truly thrilled to be doing for the Alzheimers Society in 2020 and I'm determined to not only raise the bar by knocking some time off of my last 2 marathon finish times but by raising an INCREDIBLE £20,000 this year. Will you help me to get to my target? I truly hope so.
Alzheimer's Society is the only UK charity that campaigns for change, funds research to find a cure and supports people living with dementia today.
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and there's currently no cure.
We know it is scary facing up to it, but we must confront the biggest health and social care challenge of our time.
Thanks to your support, Alzheimer's Society is facing dementia head on. Inspired by your voices, we're leading the way in support, society and research.
As the largest and most influential dementia charity in the UK, we are calling on everyone to unite. Working together we know we will achieve our vision - a world without dementia.
