Running Down Dementia
I've just signed up for this. Running 100 kilometres with my running pal Mabel, between now and October to raise at least £100 for Alzheimer's Research. In truth we'll be running a lot more than 100 kilometres, and I'd like to raise rather more than £100.
Anything you can donate towards this very worthwhile cause would be very gratefully received. Just click on the link below. Thanks in advance! https://runningdowndementia2017.ever...ro.com/uk/gary Last edited by garynortheast; 13-05-17 at 11:54 PM. |

Re: Running Down Dementia
It's a good cause, my grandfathers got vascular dementia not Alzheimer's, but it's horrific disease. Good luck!

Re: Running Down Dementia
Great cause, much neglected and misunderstood.

Re: Running Down Dementia
Huge thanks to all you kind Orgers who have donated to this cause. I've hit the £100 mark already, considerably sooner than I expected!
What a brilliant bunch you are! |

Re: Running Down Dementia
