Story
Each year, our wonderful team nominate and vote for our Charity of the Year partner.
For 2024 we have chosen to support Alzheimer’s Society – a charity close to the hearts of many of us.
To raise vital funds, the Morrison Design team are set to swim, cycle, step and trek their way to fundraising this summer.
The team will take part in the Swim for Dementia event in May, with three team members swimming a total of 30 miles over the month. In June we will Cycle for Dementia, with six team members covering over 1,000 miles in 30 days. Not forgetting John’s epic 2024 miles in 2024 - check out his separate JustGiving page.
Finally, in July, August and September the team will take part in Step up for Dementia – with ten team members covering 9 million steps between them! The challenge calls for participants to complete 10,000 steps a day for 30 days. The Morrison Design team are going one (or 600,000!) better by completing 900,000 steps over 3 months, representing the 900,000+ people in the UK currently living with dementia.
August will also see the team take on Trek26 – a challenging trek through the Peak District, covering 13 or 26 miles in one day. That’s a combined total of 260 miles from the Morrison Design team in less than 12 hours!
Over 900,000 people in the UK are living with Dementia and the charity provides critical support to people living with the disease. They provide a Dementia Support Line, Companion Calls, support with safeguarding of vulnerable people and campaign for a better future for people with the disease through government intervention and funding vital research.
