Recently my mother's memory and all-around mental health has deteriorated as did her mother's and her sister's before her. As anyone who has family experience of Alzheimers/Dementia will know it is a distressing situation for the patient and also for the family.

In my 60th year I wondered what I could do and madly said I would run the Cambridge Half with my daughter Jessica - probably not as quickly!!

Every 3 minutes dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is the only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia.

So, if you can please help me to Raise £1000 for the cause. I will be training from now until March 3rd - then promise no more running.
