Your Role in Creating Change

This year 370 incredible supporters will be taking on the iconic London Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research UK!

Join us to cheer on runners raising funds to help us to find a cure for dementia.

We will have three unforgettable cheer squads stationed along the route. You will create an amazing atmosphere whilst being surrounded by likeminded. One in two people know someone affected by dementia. Your support will give runners the motivation to push on. 

Being a cheer squad volunteer is great fun too… 
 
“I had a BRILLIANT day! There was so much energy at our cheer point… from the minute we turned the music on at 10am until we reluctantly started packing away at 3pm. We had pom poms and tambourines and whistles and our voices, and we were the loudest and most enthusiastic charity team along our strip.” (London Marathon Cheer Squad volunteer 2023)
What: Cheering, clapping, photography, and enthusiasm!

Where: Central London 

When: Sunday 21st April 2024, 10:00-17:00 (or however much time you can spare!)

About Alzheimer's Research UK

Alzheimer's Research UK are the UK's leading dementia research charity.

At Alzheimer’s Research UK, we stand for everyone affected by dementia. We stand for a cure.

If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – either by developing the condition ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both.

We’re determined to stop this from becoming a reality.

We’re working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. But we will not stop there.

With your support, we will keep going until every person is free from the heartbreak of dementia. We exist for a cure.
