This one's for you Dad

One of Dad's dementia quirks was offering me 5k to lose 10kg almost every single day.

I didn't take up the offer because I am obviously of high moral standing (and definitely not because the lure of bread and cheeseburgers were too strong).

Anyway how about I try to raise a fraction of that and put it towards a good cause instead. Maybe I'll also lose a kg in the process and make Dad proud up there. Those of you who are lucky enough to have experienced an old Greek commenting on your weight know its a very special way they show their love. 

This November I’m taking part in the 5km A Day Your Way challenge with Dementia Australia.

Each day in November I’ll be completing 5km a day, however I wish.

Every kilometre I complete, and dollar raised, helps support the 446,500 Australians living with dementia and the 1.7 million who care for them.
