I'm running for Dementia UK

This is a cause close to my heart after my Aunties were officially diagnosed with dementia two years ago.  Such a cruel disease that strips away, day by day, the amazing people we know and love. 

Running is pretty new to me, from being the "sick note kid" in p.e at school, to getting a treadmill for Christmas and only being able to run 5 minutes without having to stop (and feel like I'm dying!), to now being able to run a 5k.....and actually enjoy it (well, the feeling once I'm done), I'm going to push myself further to complete AT LEAST 30 miles over 30 days for this very special charity. 

I'm taking on a 30 day running challenge and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!
