AJ Bell Great South 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.
