What: A MAY-RATHON
42.195 kilometres (a marathon) over 5 days
As a 67 year old, overweight grandmother I can’t complete the distance in one go but the effort and energy I am putting in to training and completing the May-rathon is nothing compared to the energy and effort required to get through each day if you are a person with dementia or their carer.
Date: 15th – 19th May. This is Dementia Awareness Week
Time: 8.45am to 10.30am
Where: On a treadmill at Scott Hall Leisure Centre
Why: to raise funds for the dementia cafe at Carers Leeds where I am a volunteer.
Dementia Cafes provide a safe environment for people with dementia, their carers, family and friends to socialise, enjoy refreshments and be involved in activities. Increased funds will enable us to expand our activities and provide greater variety for our cafe customers.
