My Dad is dying, he’s in the late stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Over the past 5 years, since the diagnosis, I’ve had to slowly watch his decline. We've just had to move him into a home, I've written about how it affected us here: https://seantrobinson.medium.com/the-worst-thing-ive-ever-done-8331b2d61435

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.

There is nothing that can be done for my family, but I want to do everything I can to make sure nobody else has to go through what we’d had to suffer. Alzheimer’s isn't some obscure illness, it’s currently the number one killer in the UK. More people die from this horrific disease than any other cause. So I’m raising some money to help.

This year, I will complete two marathons.

The first will be a full-kit hike across some of the most challenging terrains in Wales, the Brecon Beacons National Park.

The second will be flatter, but faster. I have entered the virtual Berlin marathon and intend to run it.
