Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for Alzeimers UK.

I have family members who have struggled and sadly passed away having lost the last years of their lives with Alzheimer's. My dad continues to struggle so if I have to struggle to get up and run in the morning or feel it's hard to motivate myself in the evening then your support will provide the incentive for me to carry on.  A few facts about Alzheimer's Research UK...

Alzheimer's Research UK are the UK's leading Alzheimer's research charity aiming to defeat dementia.

Over 850,000 are currently living with dementia in the UK and that number is rapidly rising.
At £26 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined, but over two thirds of the care for dementia patients is paid for by themselves or their family. 

• £20 could fund one hour of vital research.
• £50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells.
• £120 could support complex protein analysis.
• £300 could pay for a genetic test to help identify risk genes.
