David's fundraiser for Alzheimer's Society

adidas Manchester Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 · Start fundraising for this event
I started participating in running and endurance events during COVID to raise money for charity. Since then I have continuing to take part in endurance events. Running a Marathon is by far my biggest challenge and by doing this I am wanting to raise funds and awareness for a good cause.
As a young boy my Grandad unfortunately suffered with Dementia. Even though I was very young I still understood the impact this disease has on not just the person suffering from the disease, but also the family members around them. Because of this I am raising funds for Alzheimer's Society as it is a fantastic cause that helps the families of people who are suffering from this terrible disease.
Alzheimer's Society supports families who are caring for people suffering as they offer support to the carers through offering advice on how to adapt the home so people with Dementia can remain independent. They also offer emotional support for the people caring by providing avenues for people to talk to about their experiences through support groups.
I am dedicating this run to my Grandad and all other people who suffer from this disease. I am also running this run to raise funds for a fantastic cause who can offer support for people like my Uncle and Mum who cared for and looked after my Grandad.
