We stand for everyone affected by dementia to find a cure

Story

Tim, Holly, Flo and Arthur will be running the London marathon in memory of our beloved granny/mother in law who we lost in November 2022 to Alzheimer’s. Too many members of our family have succumbed to this horrible disease and whilst there have been some recent breakthroughs in treatment, the impact of COVID on research into the condition has been significant. Please dig deep to help the cause!

Bios:

Tim

Whilst he is not a stranger to an endurance sporting event by any means, this is the first single event marathon he has ever attempted to complete.

Strengths: can do attitude and Kipchoge trainers

Weakness: snacking addiction, will the muffin top slow him down?

Holly

Probably the slowest of the pack but what she lacks in speed she makes up for in style, specifically excessive amounts of Lululemon stash.

Strengths: high flying City job should hopefully pull in the donations

Weaknesses: could focus too much on nutrition over the actual running

Flo

Frequently seen pounding the pavements of the Embankment with her work running club, she probably has the most miles under her belt right now. Don't let her diminutive frame deceive you.

Strengths: steely determination and positive attitude

Weaknesses: fainting habit may hold her back on the day

Arthur

A champion junior triathlete in his heyday it's been a while since Arthy participated in a competitive sporting endeavour. He's hit the training hard recently, but given his love/hate relationship with exercise will he be able to keep it up till the big day?

Strengths: youth is on his side

Weaknesses: obsession with pinting
