This event helps raise awareness for the fantastic work Alzheimer’s Research UK does and goes a long way toward making breakthroughs for Dementia treatment and care possible.
Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia. Going for a ride and spending time outside is beneficial to both our mental and physical health, but did you know keeping active can also keep our brains in shape?
That’s why we’re proud to be partnering with Alzheimer's Research UK for the Kent Classic sportive, so together we can raise awareness of the things we can be doing to look after our brains and support the charity in its efforts to find a cure for dementia.
