Charity

Alzheimers Society - Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them. There are 700,000 people with dementia in the UK with numbers set to rise to one million by 2025. Alzheimer's Society is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Many of our 25,000 members have personal experience of dementia, as carers, health professionals or people with dementia themselves, and their experiences help to inform our work. The Society's fight for a better world for people with all types of dementia takes a wide range of forms. Through our branches, we touch the lives of over 30,000 people every week, providing practical services and support for people with dementia and their carers. Every year, more than a million people make use of the information we provide. Through campaigning and lobbying we strive to influence government policies and raise awareness of the challenges faced by people with dementia and the people who care for them. And through our research programme we work to improve the knowledge we have about dementia and its treatment - and pursuing the ultimate goal of finding a cure.

Hi, thanks for visiting my page.

Next Saturday I'm running in the ING Luxembourg half-marathon for the second time.

http://www.ing-europe-marathon.lu/index.php?id=845

You may remember that I took up running in November 2010, trained right through the winter, and ran in this event last June, my first half-marathon! It was an amazing achievement for me, and through generous sponsorship over £3,500 was raised for the Alzheimer's Society!

I now have a "personal best" of 2 hours 31 minutes to beat!

Although I can't hope to raise such a large sum two years running, I have decided nonetheless to provide the opportunity for people to sponsor me if they so wish. My running endeavours are certainly keeping me fit, and if they can improve the health and wellbeing of Alzheimer's sufferers too, so much the better.

If you are able and willing to sponsor me, many thanks in advance.

Liz

P.S. Stop press! New personal best of 2 hours 23 minutes and 53 seconds!

(Through Virgin Money Giving, you can sponsor me and donations will be quickly processed and passed to charities. Virgin Money Giving is a not for profit organisation and will claim gift aid on a charity's behalf where the donor is eligible for this.)
