Unfortunately in October 2020, I lost my best friend to Dementia after a long hard battle spanning over 5 years. 

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever.Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.

With a renewed passion for running (much due to Lockdown) and with all events postponed for the foreseeable future, as soon as I read about the Goggins 4x4x48 challenge that can be done individually, safely and tracked on Strava, I had to contact Alzheimers UK and sign up!

The challenge starts 4am Saturday 6th March and will be running 4 miles (6.4km) repeating this every 4 hours, 8am, midday, 4pm all the way through to midnight Sunday to complete the 12th and final 4 mile run. 

Total Distance 48 Miles (77.5km) in 2 days. 

I hope the 'small' amount we can raise together can go towards finding a cure in saving those 'big' memories for Dementia victims and all the family & friends it causes devastation too as well. 

Thanks for your support.

Mike
