My family & I have seen first hand the devastating effect that Alzheimer's has on the whole family when a loved one is suffering. Losing my father to Alzheimer's was one of the hardest things I have ever had to face in my life.

I am personally covering all the costs to get me to the start line in NY and want to fund raise in memory of my dad for Alzheimer's Research UK so that every penny can go to research in the hope that we can stop families suffering in the way that mine did.

Alzheimer's Research UK are the UK's leading dementia research charity, dedicated to causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and cure. Backed by our passionate scientists and supporters, we’re challenging the way people think about dementia, uniting the big thinkers in the field and funding the innovative science that will deliver a cure.
