Story

Hi everyone,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

As most of you know, I have ran occasionally to keep fit by taking part in park runs, and to recover from jet lag. During the lockdown period, I have increased my running to clear my head with everything going on around us - even setting up a Sanders running club! However, I had never dreamt of running 13.1 miles.

I've watched races there, I've driven there and now I am running a half marathon at Silverstone circuit on 10th October 2021 for Alzheimer's Research UK in memory of my nan, Emily Knight. 

As the grandson of a caring woman who suffered with dementia,  I have seen first-hand the impact that this awful disease has, not only on those suffering, but also their families.

By taking part in Run Silverstone 2021, I aim to raise as much money as possible for Alzheimer's Research UK. This charity is very close to my heart and by raising as much money as I can for this charity, the sponsors and myself will be contributing to a future where this world can one day be dementia-free.

Thank you for your support, I hope to do you all proud.

Simon Tennant.
