I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Dementia UK.

For my Granny and Morfar (swedish grandad) who both have dementia. It's a horrible disease, although they have lost their memories, me and my family can bring their spark back by telling their pasts. We have made the best out of our situations and they both make us laugh everyday never failing to put a smile on our faces.

So I'm giving a go at running a half marathon to make them proud! Even though they will forget once I tell them I'm doing this!

Little background on Dementia UK:

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care to families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. They help people with dementia stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems, helping families take back control when they are struggling.
