My Story

I'm running the Great North Run for the Alzheimer’s Society - running for everyone living with dementia and every family facing this heartbreaking journey.

It won’t be fast, it won't be pretty - but hopefully, with any support you can kindly offer, it might help to make a difference. 

I see the incredible strength of members of my own family. They care, they comfort, they show up day after day. Their courage, love and resilience, like that of all families living with dementia, are inspiring.

That’s why I’m running: to raise vital funds so the Alzheimer’s Society can continue their crucial work - supporting families, funding research and fighting to change the future of dementia care.

Every three minutes, somebody in the UK is told they have dementia. It’s the biggest health and social care challenge we face.

My target is £375 to secure my place in the race on September 7th. If you’re able to donate anything at all, I’d be so grateful. Every pound brings us closer to a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  💜
