I am taking on the Chester Triple 2026, which includes the Chester 10K (March), the Half Marathon (May) and the full Marathon (October), to raise money for a cause that means a great deal to me. Having only ever run one 10K before, this is a completely new challenge and a huge step outside my comfort zone. My nan had dementia, and seeing the impact on her and our family is something I will never forget. That is why I have set myself the goal of raising £500 to support families going through the same journey.

I’m fundraising for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family.

Today, nearly one million people in the UK are living with dementia. One in two of us will be affected by it in our lifetime, whether by caring for someone with the diagnosis, developing it ourselves, or both. It is the biggest health and social challenge of our time. Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses provide expert, compassionate advice and support to anyone affected by dementia, whenever it is needed.

Your donation can make a real difference. £500 could help fund up to 25 specialist helpline consultations, support vital Admiral Nurse time, and help families receive personalised guidance when they need it most. Every pound truly counts and helps Dementia UK reach more people with life-changing support.

With your generous support, together we can help them reach even more families who desperately need help and support.

Thank you so much for your donation today. 💙 Josh Lord
