The Alzheimer's Society is the UK’s leading charity for care and research for people suffering with dementia.
Every day, more people affected by dementia turn for help to the Alzheimer's Society than to any other organisation.100,000 people develop dementia every year and one in three people over 65 will die with dementia.
The Alzheimer's Society needs to raise money to help people live well with dementia today and for research to find a cure for tomorrow.
The North Wiltshire Branch of the Alzheimer's Society is reliant on fundraising to be able to offer support to people in the local area, in the form of regular respite breaks, telephone helpline, support groups and Singing for the Brain.
Please support your local Branch by running the Chippenham Half Marathon. For more details click here, or telephone 01249 443469
