Make a difference for people living with dementia, their carers, and their families across Scotland.
Scotlandโs leading dementia charity believe that nobody should have to face dementia alone.
When you run and raise funds for @alzscot, you help them prevent dementia now, provide care today and work towards a cure for tomorrow.
Theyโll be with you every step of the way and will send you a free Alzheimer Scotland t-shirt or vest to wear on the day.
Make every step count.
