Story
Both myself (Rosie) and Dylan are excited to be participating in the London Landmark Half Marathon on the 6th April 2025.
Our purpose in running the Marathon is to raise money for both Dementia UK and Air Ambulance. Both charities mean a lot to myself and Dylan as my Nan sadly passed away whilst receiving a lot of care from Dementia UK and Dylan’s friend and my Grandad both received aid from Air Ambulance
We have both pledged to raise £350.00 each, and hope to do this equally between the two charities.
“Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. Today there are around 944,000 people living with dementia, (including 70,800 living with young onset dementia, where symptoms develop under the age of 65) and right now there are only around 400 Admiral Nurses to support them and their families”.
“Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London’s Air Ambulance brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. They perform innovative and potentially life-saving procedures usually found in the emergency department on-scene. The team can perform treatments such as open heart surgery, blood transfusions and general anaesthetic by the roadside. By providing intervention as quickly as possible after injury, they aim to give patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.”
We appreciate that times are tough but any donations would be greatly appreciated – thank you so much
