Story

Hi everyone- thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As some of you may know I'm running the London Marathon raising money for the Alzheimer's Society. This charity means a lot to me seeing first hand the effects of Dementia. 

Something you may not be aware of but Alzheimer's is now officially the biggest killer in the UK - ahead of heart disease and cancer. Unfortunately it only gets only a quarter of the research funding that these other more well-known diseases receive. It is currently the only one of the top ten causes of death that we cannot prevent, cure or even slow down.

One person every 3 minutes develops dementia... so we have a lot of work to do! 

Any support would be greatly appreciated.

Wish me luck!

Joe
