Running 160k in 30 days for Alzheimer’s Society
In May 2024, I decided it was time to challenge myself. As a novice runner, I thought participating in a running event would be the perfect way to push my limits. Not long before this, I saw a running challenge called “Run for Dementia” which was organised by Alzheimer’s Society, the challenge I was signing up for was to run 160k in 30 days. As this charity was very close to my heart, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to participate and make a difference. When I told my family and friends about my plan to take part in Run for Dementia, they were extremely supportive of me. I signed myself up as a participant, made by fundraising page and began to collect donations for this amazing charity. To my disbelief, I hit my donation target within the first day of my page being live! The support I received before I even began the challenge was overwhelming and motivated me even more. At first, the distance didn’t seem too overwhelming, with 30 days to complete the challenge...
