RUN & HELP OTHERS ruith is cuidich càch ALZHEIMER SCOTLAND
THERE ARE currently over 84,000 people in Scotland with dementia. Within a generation, that number is set to double.
Alzheimer Scotland is the leading dementia charity in Scotland provid- ing care, understanding and support for people with dementia, their car- ers, family and friends.
In 2011 Owen Bowers Adams ran the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon on behalf of Alzheimer Scotland through the culmination of a 10 year long battle with his own health. When asked why he ran it for Alzheimer Scotland, Owen said: “I’d already decided I wanted to run the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon, and when I saw I could run for Alzheimer Scotland the decision was easy. I’ve seen first hand how challenging dealing with Alzheimer’s can be from briefly working in a care home.
As far as the event itself goes, it was an amazing experience which I would recommend to anyone. “Between the stunning
scenery and slightly ec- centric Highland weather it’s left me with life-long memories and a few great friends. I wanted to take up the challenge and raise funds for this amazing
charity whilst having fun and celebrating the lighter side of life.” You too could make a difference by taking part in the Baxters Loch Ness Marathon & Festival of Running and raise vital funds for Alzheimer Scotland.
