Default 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!

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

Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry to hear about your grandfather. It is a horrible disease in all its forms.

Great cause, much neglected and misunderstood.

Have to say your dog stole the picture though.......... very handsome beast

Do they use kilometres in Wales now ?

Ha ha, she's better looking than me, that's for sure!

I'm old enough to have dealt exclusively with imperial measurements at school but I'm happy enough to use metric where needed, particularly when distance is involved.

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!

LOL! No option round here - have you looked at the elevation profiles for my local trail runs?
