Story

On 12th May 2024 I will be running the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon, with one of the two charities I will be raising money for being Dementia UK.

For the last 5yrs, and in particularly the last 2yrs, my Mum has been battling this illness, which is slowly (and at times quite quickly), winning the battle. At just 68, she required full 24/7 care, something I would not wish on anyone.

Training for the marathon through the winter months has at times been lonely, but whilst out in the cold, wet, dark nights, the one thing that has kept me pushing is the thought of how lonely my Mum must have felt in recent times, as this awful illness kills off her ability to function both mentally & physically.

I would be hugely grateful of any donation, however big or small, which will at least contribute to continuing to develop medication, and hopefully one day a cure, or reversal, for all forms of Dementia.

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page - and for those able it would mean so much to see & hear you along the route around Leeds on 12th May 2024.
