Over the last couple of months I’ve found myself enjoying putting myself in discomfort by running. I’ve been looking for a new challenge; one that’s tough, but also realistic for a new runner like myself.

So I’ve decided to enter the Bournemouth Half Marathon and raise money for a local charity, Dementia Active.

Dementia Active is a charity with an established track record in providing social activity groups for people with dementia.

My Gran has been attending sessions with Dementia Active for a few years now and it’s great that she’s able to get out and socialise with others.
