Marathon Eryri (Snowdonia Marathon)
One in two of us will be affected by dementia, either caring for a loved one, or developing it ourselves.
Over a million people in the UK will be living with dementia by 2030.
Over half of the UK knows someone with dementia.
Over the past few years as a chaplain with Tranmere Rovers Football Club, I've had the privilege of getting to know some amazing people who care for a husband, wife or parent, living with dementia, and those diagnosed themselves. I've also seen the impact of two groups in particular, who provide brilliant care and support to these people.
On Saturday 28th October 2023, I'm going to run the Eryri Marathon, 26.2 miles around, and up (800+ metres!) and down the roads of Snowdonia. I'm aiming to raise funds to enable Dementia Together Wirral, and Tranmere Rovers in the Community to keep on providing invaluable love and care to dementia sufferers and their families.
If you can give a bit, no doubt it will help me get around the course, and all goes to support this great cause.
Thanks so much!
