The Monaghan sisters have (rather naively) taken on the challenge of running 26 miles around the great city of Manchester!

Given that the longest either of us had run prior to training was around 5km.....this is going to be tough. 

We’ll be running for Alzheimer’s Society having lost Roger, our brilliant godfather and a dear family friend to this awful disease a few years ago. Roger was the life and soul of every party and we miss him dearly, he would think us absolutely bonkers for taking this on but would be there cheering us on, no doubt wearing a cracking Union Jack suit and killer sunglasses!

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and there’s currently no cure. Alzheimer’s Society are the leading UK organisation funding vital research and providing a wealth of support services to those affected.

Please support us as we take on a huge personal challenge for a cause very close to our hearts. Little or large your donation will make a difference helping to fund services such as activity groups, befriending or Dementia Connect, a lifeline support service providing personalised advice to those affected. Dig deep friends!
