Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. We can beat it, but we can’t do it alone. We need you to run for us. We need your miles, your energy, your determination to help us find a cure. Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. Thanks to our generous supporters, we have been able to invest £1.1 million in research at the universities of Worcester, Nottingham, Birmingham and Leicester so far. But with your help, we can do even more. We need you to beat the weather, beat the excuses, beat everything that stands between you and the finish line. Run for us and join the race to beat dementia.
