1/2 Marathon Row for Kate

Story

     

     

My Grandmother, Kate Rushton, was unfortunately diagnosed with dementia a few years ago. Her battle was prolonged and painful, and this year we sadly lost her after a very tough couple of months. Kate brought happiness to many people, and it was devastating to see her go for both my family and those who knew her.

 

 

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause, it means a lot to my family. Although the precise causes for dementia are still slightly ambiguous, it is irrefutable that lifestyle and physical health have a large impact on whether it develops in someone. For that reason, I thought it was appropriate to take on a physical challenge to raise funds for Dementia Australia. I will be completing a 1/2 marathon row on an ergometer. I'm not sure how fast I'll be able to do it, but I'll give it my best shot for her. No person or family should have to endure the pain that this illness brings.
