Congratulations Pip on the completion of your run. I know it was extremely hard for you, but such a worthy cause,  Hopefully all our encouragement spurred you on.

Dear all,

A few years ago someone equivalent to my mum was diagnosed with Dementia/Alzheimers and I had to watch someone so bright and intellectual who I loved and admired so much reduced to such an awful state that she eventually refused to eat.  I vowed then that I would do what ever I could to help raise money to combat this dreadful illness.  Indeed one of the reasons I started to play bridge was the knowledge that alongside chess it forms one the best possible forms of mental exercise and therefore defence against these cruel illnesses.  I’ve only taken until now because I’ve had to put in a lot of effort to recover from my knee operation, but I’m ready.  On September 11th I am (gulp) going to be trekking 26 miles (yes that’s miles not kilometres) around Salisbury and Stone Henge.  If you didn’t think I had a screw loose you probably do now!  But please do consider sponsoring me as this is no small feat for me and it will be going towards fighting these debilitating and degrading diseases.

Here’s the link to my Just Giving page and thank you for reading this.   https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/pipandemmawalkthewalk?utm_source=Sharethis&utm_medium=fundraising&utm_content=pipandemmawalkthewalk&utm_campaign=pfp-email&utm_term=b18e7477dc514ef2ba77e4c4cd6d2a1d.
