My half marathon challenge to help support those living with dementia
Zoe Uttley, Executive Officer to the Director of SITU NDS and SITU NDS Coordinator, is preparing to run the Oxford Half Marathon on Sunday 13 October 2024 in support of Alzheimer's Society. Read her story.
I am excited to be running the Oxford Half Marathon next weekend, on Sunday, 13 October, raising funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
I signed up to the Oxford Half back in February, looking for a new challenge and something to motivate me to get moving. Having only just run my second 10k last Friday, 21k is still a pretty intimidating distance but I'm hoping that the adrenaline on the day, as well as the money raised for a worthy cause, will fuel me on when it comes down to it!
I’m proud to be running in support of Alzheimer’s Society. This incredible charity is working tirelessly to create a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. They are there to provide vital support and services to those living with dementia today, while also funding groundbreaking research to create hope for a better future. My race is dedicated to the people affected by dementia and the amazing work that Alzheimer’s Society is doing to improve their lives. Every donation, no matter the size, helps them get one step closer to their goal. I deeply appreciate any contribution you can make. Thank you so much for your support!
Please donate via my fundraising page.
