Walking in Memory of my Mum
I'm taking part in Walk For A Cure because I want to help end the devastation of dementia. My mum, Elizabeth Whelan, had dementia for about 9 years before she died in 2025.
I will be walking 21km on 12th September through the Peak District, from Parsley Hay to Carsington Water.
Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity, dedicated to finding a cure.
Research is our only chance of stopping dementia in its tracks and offering hope to the many families affected.
Your donation will fuel cutting-edge research that could uncover new life-changing treatments, bringing us closer to a cure.
Thank you for your support.
So far, Roxana has helped fund 5 hours of essential lab time for our amazing scientists.
