I'm running a MARATHON for DEMENTIA!
Dear friends,
On the 27th of August, 2023, I will be running in the Adelaide Marathon (42.195 km). I will be raising money to help an organisation combatting dementia, an illness affecting people that I am very close to and over 400,000 Australian's in 2022.
Here are some statistics about dementia in Australia:
- In 2022, dementia was the SECOND highest cause of burden of disease and the FIRST amongst women
- There were 15 people with dementia per 1,000 Aussies, increasing to 84 per 1,000 amongst Aussies aged 65 and over
- It is estimated that in 2018, 43% of overall dementia burden could have been avoided if exposure to 6 lifestyle risk factors were reduced. These risk factors were: being overweight (including obesity), physical inactivity, tobacco smoking, high blood pressure in midlife, high blood plasma glucose levels, and impaired kidney function
So far, I have been training to complete the marathon within 6 hours. I have been training very hard for this race since January, 2023 & have already run >800 km and can't wait to continue running whilst raising money to combat dementia.
If you have any spare $$ to donate, please could you help me to help others!
Thank you so much for your continued support in this journey.
With thanks,
Shelley 🏃♀️
