AJ Bell Great Scottish Run

Alzheimer’s Society has been proudly selected as the official charity of the AJ Bell Great Run Series. Together we’re investing in a world without dementia. Together, we’ve got dementia on the run.

As the country’s biggest killer, someone develops dementia every three minutes in the UK.

Dementia is everywhere, and it’s an urgent concern for us all. It can affect anyone – including people in their 40s who have young-onset dementia and young families struggling to cope with responsibilities of caring for a loved one. Dementia touches every generation and every community.

At Alzheimer’s Society, we know the steps it will take to create a future where dementia no longer devastates lives. We’re the only dementia charity doing everything it takes to beat the condition. Delivering vital support services, funding pioneering research and campaigning relentlessly for change.

We’re now so close to lifechanging treatments being available for people who need them most. For the first time, we’ve truly got dementia on the run.

​Hope is on the horizon but to get there, we need everyone on the team. Because it will take a society to beat dementia.

The money we raise from the AJ Bell Great Run series will help us get there faster. Join us.

Imagine if you had to struggle to breathe every day just from getting out of bed. Or you were living constantly worried about your heart or scared that you might have another stroke at any moment. Living with the reality of a long term health condition can be confusing and isolating. Every day activities such as picking up a knife and fork, making a cup of tea or leaving the house can feel like a massive challenge. Today, one in five people in Scotland are living with the effects of chest, heart and stroke conditions. More people than ever before need our stroke nurses, rehabilitation support workers and peer support groups. Run for us so that we can support more people to take back their lives, regain their confidence and independence and live life to the full. Take on the challenge.

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a brutal terminal illness which can rapidly strip a person of their ability to walk, talk, swallow, and breathe unaided. Someone’s lifetime risk of developing MND is 1 in 300 and the average life expectancy is just 18 months from diagnosis. You can help MND Scotland fund pioneering research to take us closer to finding a cure for this devastating disease. Until that day comes, we are here to make time count for everyone affected by MND in Scotland, so families can spend the time they have left making precious memories with loved ones. Together, we will make time count and beat MND! Will you join us? To secure your free charity place, please email louise.earley@mndscotland.org.uk or call on 0141 332 3903.

We are My Name’5 Doddie Foundation and we’re absolutely committed to our goal: A World Free of MND. We will leave no stone unturned in the relentless pursuit of this goal as we fund, guide and enable the smartest, most efficient MND research to catalyse a cure for motor neuron disease. MND isn’t incurable, it’s just underfunded.
