Fans vs Dementia

Apparently Athletic 1890

Team captain: Sarah Smallbone

About

During the course of 90 minutes, a game of football, thirty people in the UK will have developed dementia. 

Over 944,000 people in the UK are affected by the condition - and if someone you love is living with dementia, you're living with it too.

We've handed in a transfer request and signed up to Fans Vs Dementia to help make sure no one faces dementia alone.

The supporters of Grays Athletic are taking on a joint challenge of running, walking and cycling to cover grounds the club has previously played at (there's a few!). 

The full route will start at Parkside via Millfield down to Ship Lane then to The Rec along the parade towards Chadwell and down to Tilbury. The total distance is approximately 10.2 miles. 

All donations are greatly appreciated.
