Kirsten Lawrence set herself a challenge: running the Tokyo Marathon on 1 March 2026 to raise money for Tibbs Dementia Foundation.
Her motivation was close to home. Kirsten’s stepdad, George, lives with dementia, and Tibbs has been supporting him and Kirsten’s mum through a local community group.
Every Tuesday, the group meets in their village church hall, offering activities for people living with dementia alongside support, advice and a listening ear for their carers. And, as Kirsten points out, there’s always tea and biscuits!
Kirsten has raised £5,190 for Tibbs.
“Literally every penny counts for this invaluable charity, and I cannot thank them enough for the support they have given my Mum and George and those living with dementia in our local community,” she said.
Thank you, Kirsten, for supporting Tibbs and helping us continue making a difference to local families.
