I want to help fund research to find ways to prevent dementia. I will be recording on Strava all the kilometres I run to contribute to the grand total of PREVENT Dementia Around the World.

Fifty million people around the world live with dementia. The impact on patients and their families can be profound. From February 2019 to February 2020, between us, we will cover a combined distance of 40,075km. The equivalent to running all the way around the equator of the earth. For this, we need your help. Every penny raised will support the PREVENT Dementia Research Programme led from the University of Edinburgh. Our goal is to find new ways to detect the earliest changes in the brain long before symptoms appear. Our aim is to predict who is at greatest risk of dementia and develop strategies to intervene and slow or prevent the disease.Run. Raise awareness. Fund research. Change lives.
