Absolutely delighted to finish the @OfficialBigHalf in 1hr 54min knocking 3 minutes off my half marathon pb! It was hot! A cup of ice at mile 9 and a hose down from firefighters really helped!

Emily's mum Janet was diagnosed with young-onset Alzheimer's at just 60, when Emily was still at university.

If nothing changes, 1 in 2 of us will see our lives devastated by dementia. Either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.

This is why we exist. We're leading the search #ForACure 🟧
