I'm running 100K for Dementia UK

This February, I'm running 100K 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!

100km Final day

Saturday 1st Mar
Did my final day of the challenge yesterday and achieved 103km in total for February. 
Thank you to all the people who supported me with sponsorship. Dementia UK helps by supporting families affected by the illness. 

Right, where are my trainers 👟 

Nearly there

Sunday 23rd Feb
It’s the last week of my challenge, I am feeling very mixed about the last few days of running towards 100km. 
I definitely want to keep my consistent running routine I will have to challenge myself again to get up and out first thing in the morning. 🌅 

My best of times are when the dog and I can run freely although the fields are so muddy and slippery we have mainly been on roads and paths. 

The thought of people getting Dementia makes me sad and I would love to see a cure for this disease that prevents all of us and the ones we love becoming an empty shell of oneself. 

In the meantime staying fitter and healthier and keeping your brain active must be part of the prevention strategy. ❣️

Daily plod

Saturday 8th Feb
Every day in February I have run, chased the dog or plodded through the miles. 
I am 40km through the 100km goal, yahoo  🎉 
Wet feet, cold temperatures and beautiful sunrises are all worth the effort! 
The tunes encourage me to keep going 🎧

Committed to raising money for a worthwhile charity

Monday 27th Jan

I am embarking on a running challenge as I transition to a new area and role. You might wonder why I chose to focus on dementia. It's heart-wrenching to witness loved ones losing their sense of self and comprehension of the world around them.

Medical science is remarkable; we have gained so much insight into our brains, yet there is still so much more to uncover.

I believe that disease prevention is just a small aspect of a medical student's journey—this perspective needs to shift. My goal with this challenge is to support and trust those dedicated researchers who are working tirelessly to aid others and prevent dementia.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I will keep you updated on my progress and share my thoughts as I work towards my goal of 100k.

Best,  
Sam
