The challenge is 500km in distance with 5000m of elevation:

Day 1 (Monday 23rd Sep) - Aviva York to Stoke on Trent - 170km: Going over the Peak District. A tough 1st day!

Day 2 (Tuesday 24th Sep) - Stoke on Trent to Oxford - 230km: Longer than 2023's one day Norwich to London Tour De Mentia challenge!

Day 3 (Wednesday 25th Sep) - Oxford to Aviva London (80 Fen): 100km. A shorter day in distance, but with 2 difficult days in saddle already, it will not be easy!

Alzheimer's Society

As a Society, we are made up of people with dementia, carers, trusted experts, campaigners, researchers and clinicians. We are the UK’s largest collective force of people with unparalleled knowledge and over 40 years of experience addressing the biggest challenges facing people living with dementia

We’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future, through;

• Providing dementia support services such as our support line, online and print information, expert dementia advisers and online community, giving advice and practical guidance for the next steps as people living with dementia navigate the hardest times of their lives
• Funding dementia research, backing the world’s brightest minds and funding over 600 research projects to find the best ways to get early diagnosis, innovate care and develop targeted treatments
• Campaign action to hold decision-makers to account, and amplify the voices of everyone living with dementia

With your help we can give vital support to those who need it most, hold decision-makers to account, and fund ground-breaking research to transform the future for everyone living with dementia. 

Why we need your support today

Dementia is the biggest health and social challenge of our time. There are currently estimated to be 900,000 people in the UK with dementia. Many are undiagnosed and facing the realities of their condition alone. As a Society, and with the help of our supporters, we’re changing that.

With your help we can give vital support to those who need it most, hold decision-makers to account, and fund ground-breaking research to transform the future for everyone living with dementia. 

Together we are help and hope for everyone living with dementia
