I'm running 100K for Dementia UK & my Mum
This February, I’m running 100km for Dementia UK.
My lovely mum has vascular dementia and is fading away fast. There have already been days when she no longer recognises me. Watching that slow loss is heartbreaking, I would give anything for just one more mother daughter chat and hug — so this challenge is for her, my Dad and my brother.
I’m not a natural runner. I really struggled through my first run but I’m determined to keep going, step by step, getting stronger and pushing further each week to reach 100km by the end of the month. I keep telling myself it's a privilege to have my health and be able to tackle this challenge, even if it is going to be really hard.
If you’d like to support me by making a donation (or just cheer me on), it would mean the world. Thank you x
