Some of our amazing fundraisers that have helped raise much needed funds and awareness towards the Remembering Not to Forget mission.
Round the World Challenge
Jenny Groom
Jenny organised a supperclub to raise funds for Remembering Not to Forget in April 2017, #diningfordementia. The theme for the evening was ‘Memory Lane’, with a menu influenced by childhood classics such as chicken kiev and findus crispy pancakes – but gourmet versions! Jenny raised over £800 and a delicious time was had by all.
Rich Morris
Rich Morris raised a fantastic £1090 by competing in Vodafone’s Big Bold Challenge, where he did a 50km cycle, 10km run, 1000 steps up Madjeski stadium and then abseiled back down! Thanks Rich!
Ilana Alder & Lesley Oliver
Ilana & Lesley organised a brilliant fashion show in aid of Remembering Not to Forget on 27th October in Wiveliscombe, Somerset. Fashions were provided by Kanya and by Aisle Altar Hymn, and £285 was raised! Thanks to the organisers, and everyone who came along.
Helen Wright
Helen tackled the Brighton 10k in November 2015 and as you know from her touching blog posts she had plenty of motivation to complete the challenge.
Fiona O’Driscoll
Fi generously chose Remembering Not to Forget as the charity to raise money for when she bravely took on the Chiltern 100 in May 2015, ascending almost twice the height of Ben Nevis over the course of 110 miles via pedal power.
Jo Evans
Jo ran the London marathon for us in April 2015. Take a look at her fundraising page and read about why she chose to raise money for us.
Phil Crisp
Phil raised £2,210 in January 2015 by having his back, crack and sack waxed on his 30th birthday! He was inspired to fundraise for us as his dad is living with Alzheimer’s. Take a look at his fundraising page for some video evidence of the waxing!
Spring Grove Market Garden
James and Eileen raised more than £70 in September 2014 by running a ‘guess the weight of the pumpkin’ competition at the farmer’s market in Wiveliscombe, Ali’s home town. The winners got to keep all 63.4kg of the pumpkin as well as winning £10 worth of organically grown local fruit & veg from Spring Grove Market Garden.
Simon Grace
Simon raised just under £300 for us through sponsorship for the Tour of Wessex in May 2014, cycling a total of 335 miles and climbing 5,231 meters over three days . Simon is also originally from Wiveliscombe, and his grandfather was diagnosed with dementia before passing away in 2013.
Heidi Lynes
Heidi was the first of our fundraisers, raising over £135 of sponsorship by taking part in the Reading half marathon in March 2014. Heidi came along to our first event, the Tube Challenge in December 2013, and was inspired to raise money for us.
A massive thank you to all of our fundraisers, and to the generous friends and family that have donated to our cause.
