On the 13th of September, I'll be running in the Charleville Half Marathon in memory of my grandad, who sadly passed away in February after a long battle with dementia. As September is Alzheimer's Awareness Month, I wanted to do something in memory of my grandad while raising awareness and funds for a cause that affects so many families. Every donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much and help support vital dementia and Alzheimer's services, research and awareness.
