Emma Clarkson is raising money for Dementia Forward

My story

After a few friends asked me what my next challenge was, I decided (somewhat stupidly!) to sign up for a marathon. I’ve completed the Robin Hood Half Marathon before, but never a full marathon.

I also wanted to raise money for a charity that has a personal connection to my other half, Harry. His father, Ranjit, sadly passed away in December 2024 after living with dementia.


Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto Dementia Forward.
