TTG team rallies to battle Alzheimer’s

Meanwhile, senior reporter Tom Parry will take on the London Marathon on Sunday, April 28 to raise £2,000 in memory of his “taid” (a Welsh word for grandfather), having never run further than 10k in his life.

“Despite thinking I’m a sporting icon each year at TTG Sports Day, I’m actually a bit of a slob, but things are changing,” said Parry.

“Dementia is the biggest health threat facing our society, and there are currently no effective treatments to slow, prevent or cure it.

“Having watched my taid develop dementia in the years before he passed away, I know the pain it creates, so the fight against it is a cause I’m proud to support.”

In 2019, Alzheimer’s Society and Alzheimer’s Research UK are joining forces for the Dementia Revolution, a year-long campaign to power ground-breaking dementia research, overthrow old attitudes and lead the charge towards a cure.
