Residents will be aware that I have spent the last few months gearing up to run my second London Marathon, along with a number of colleagues, which I am pleased to have completed in 6:09:06.
It was a huge honour to run in support of the Alzheimer’s Society, and I am delighted to have raised a total of £2,583 to contribute towards the charity's vital work. Previous research carried out by the Alzheimer’s Society has led to some really encouraging clinical trial results for two types of drugs - Lecanemab and Donanemab - the first of their kind to demonstrate a reduction in the rate of decline in people's memory and thinking.
Thanks to the generosity of donations, the money raised will allow the Alzheimer's Society to continue to fund further research and provide hope to residents and their loved ones who have been impacted by this heart-breaking disease.
Thank you once again for the support.
