Story

Hi there,

I'm competing in Tough Mudder to raise money for Alzheimer's Research. We lost my Dad ( Ross' Granddad) to Alzheimer's in 2016. We'd actually lost our Dad a couple of years prior to that - his personality being lost in the throes of confusion, symptomatic of Alzheimer's.

The one thing I absolutely did not want to happen was Dad to be defined by Alzheimer's. This absolutely amazing man with whom I was blessed to have as my Dad!

I was given the opportunity to take the funeral service myself, with my children speaking. We showed many family photos and videos of the man that had been - loving the company of his family and friends, laughing, partying, enjoying all his sports and just generally embracing life!

Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease and any money that could be contributed to help with research would be amazing!

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly to Alzheimer’s Research.

Thank you all so much for your support!
