Just a nudge for this. Again, appreciate money is tight but any donations would be hugely gratefully received. There's been a massively sad story in the headlines recently that shows how dementia can affect people, and the importance of supporting carers. @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social do great work.

As many of you know, I used to run, but I've not done anything long distance since my knee/hip injury in 2018 - so this will be hard work! Appreciate that money is tight but any donations will be hugely gratefully received. www.justgiving.com/fundraising/...
