I am running the Manchester Marathon 2026 raising funds for Dementia UK.

Dementia has touched my family personally, with my grandma currently living with the condition and my grandad having had it in the past. I’m taking on this marathon to raise awareness and funds to help support families facing dementia every day. Every donation, big or small, truly makes a difference.

The £300 I’m aiming to raise will help Dementia UK provide specialist support through their Admiral Nurses, who offer life-changing guidance to families affected by dementia. This includes emotional support, practical advice, and help navigating care at every stage of the condition. Every pound raised will go towards ensuring more families get the support they desperately need.
