Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Bristol 10k on Sunday the 11th of May at 9.30am. Please come along to watch us run. Please also show your support by sponsoring me :-)

Every pound raised is matched by National Friendly so if I reach my target, £200 will go to Alzheimer's Society!

- Dementia can affect anyone and is caused by diseases of the brain, one of these is Alzheimer’s. There are currently over 800,000 people with dementia in the UK and this figure will rise to over 1 million by 2021. 

- Dementia is terminal and there is no cure. One in three people over 65 will die with dementia. Alzheimer’s Society supports people to live well with dementia today and funds research to find a cure for tomorrow. 

How your fundraising could help:

£50 could enable four callers to Alzheimer’s Society’s Helpline to receive the information and support they need.

£100 could support a person with dementia to receive two fortnightly befriending visits with a volunteer, enabling them to continue with their hobbies and interests.

£200 could help run one session of Singing for the Brain ® , an Alzheimer’s Society activity that is designed to be a fun, stimulating and social activity for people in the early to moderate stages of dementia. 

£500 could pay for two sessions of our Carers’ Programme for 12 carers. The Carers’ Programme offers practical tips and strategies to help carers to cope with the impact of dementia and gives them information so that they can access local services and start preparing for the future. 

£1,000 could pay for one person to visit a dementia café every week for a whole year providing information and support to people with dementia in an informal setting. 

Thank you for reading and thank you for your support!
