This year we have committed to support Dementia UK (Invesco's Charity of the Year), by taking part in the Invesco Thames Challenge 2022. For this year’s challenge, we're aiming to raise as much as we possibly can for an amazing cause providing life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.

For those with keen memories, you will remember GDS entered a team back in 2017, and we're looking to double down on our success that year by entering a team of 5 this year; Mandy, Claire, Alex, Jo & Paul.

The aim this year is simply to raise as much money as we can!

We will be embarking on a triathlon with a difference; travelling from Invesco Henley to the Invesco Portman Square office in West London. The distances involved are as follows:

• Stage 1 – Canoe 9km – Invesco Henley to Hurley Lock

• Stage 2 – Cycle 69km – Hurley Lock to Barnes

• Stage 3 – Walk/Run 12km - Barnes to Invesco @ Portman Square

We've setup this sponsorship page through Just Giving (where donations will be quickly processed, passed to charities and gift aid will be claimed on the charity's behalf).

More importantly, Invesco will match ALL donations pound for pound!

Dementia UK is the only specialist dementia nurse charity.

There is no cure for dementia. But there is care. And care can change lives. That's why Dementia UK is here. Our specialist dementia nurses, called Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. This support has been needed more than ever throughout the pandemic which has left thousands of families isolated, bereaved and in despair.

Every penny raised through our partnership will help provide a lifeline to those who need it.
