'My experience of taking part in this event from London to Paris was life changing.  It took me from being a couch potato, to being super fit.  It focused me on the positive things in life and really got me out of the sad mind-set that I was in. But the support and camaraderie within the group of people doing the ride has been incredible.  We developed a strong group of friends who are still meeting up and talking and cycling together after the event.  It was a very humbling experience and one that I will never forget for the rest of my life'

'It was just an incredible feeling riding for 4 days, 350 miles, 24hrs in the saddle and climbing over 13000 ft.  It was amazing knowing that you had completed that in the memory of your loved ones or for making a difference to someone else’s life who needs the support of the Alzheimer’s society.'

'It was a truly amazing adventure. I met some lovely people along the way and passed through countryside I had never been. More importantly Linda and I were proud to wear the charity colours.'

£200 could speed up the search for an effective treatment for vascular dementia by paying for a year’s worth of clinical trial drugs.

£590 could provide a space for people worried about dementia to connect, tell their stories and support each other by funding our online community Talking Point for a weekend.

£1,040 could support people with dementia to keep doing the activities they love and try new things by funding a Side by Side service for a week. Volunteers support people with dementia to do whatever they enjoy, from going to a football match to visiting a café for lunch.
