Thanks for taking the time to visit our wJustGiving page.
Dementia is a cause close to our hearts. We have both lost grandparents to the disease and have family members who continue to struggle with it. Alzheimer’s Research UK is currently funding research into the isolation and effect of Covid on families living with Dementia. Lockdown with dementia has been so hard with carers having to step back and day centres and support groups closed.
We were due to run in the Lakeland 50, but due to COVID this has been postponed until next year. We continued to train and decided to enter the virtual 50. This can be spread across the week, but we have decided to run around 47 miles on Monday 20th and will do the remainder of the distance up in the lakes on Sunday 26th.
Charities have also been struggling through lack of fundraising during this time, so we hope that running this ultra distance can generate some money for this local charity.
