A Meeting of 'MINDS' Motorcycle Tour



 
CHARITY MOTORCYCLE TOUR - NO CASH REQUIRED!
In Sept of this year I will be undertaking a charity motorbike tour of Alzheimer’s Research Centres, to raise awareness for BRACE and Alzheimer’s. 
BRACE’s raison d’etre is to fund research into Alzheimer’s and it is my chosen charity.
 
Typically when people think of charities they think CASH!

Rest at ease!
 
We will of course set up a facility to donate if you wanted to help raise funds, BUT this is not the MAIN purpose. We will NOT be chasing for cash. As we are raising awareness of this condition, we are visiting a number of research centres to interview eminent lead researchers and to create a bank of video footage to be used by BRACE in future activities.
The interviews will focus on the centre’s research specialism and we have selected specific researchers, so responses can be a little more non-technical/ non-medical (ish), but honed to the ‘EVERYDAY’ lay person, such as you or I.
Currently, we are going to Bristol (Southmead), Cardiff, London, Lille, Manheim and Montpellier.
If you wanted to donate then BRACE do have a facility on their website (see link above).

SO WHERE CAN YOU HELP?

From now on, leading up to and during the tour we will be sending out information via email and social media. If I email 100 people, they then send information onto another 100 people, and so on and so on we then have the start of a great awareness campaign for BRACE and Alzheimer's. Maybe a few will donate, but the important thing is purely the awareness.
 
So in truth, really what we want is ‘take a message and pass it on.’
 
If you wanted to do this via social media, then you can follow us on https://twitter.com/royadair/ or

and we will have updates via my BLOG

One final thing. Part of the research interview process will
be to talk specifically about Alzheimer’s as a
multi-dimensional condition. But we also wanted to create a
generic bank of research questions. So if you ever had a
question about Alzheimer’s now is your chance to ask, via
me.
 
So if you wanted to send this on, please do. If you wanted to
follow us now on Twitter/ Facebook etc, please do. Or send
us a question, please do to martynh@miller-ad.com.
Wish us well on our journey, and thanking you in advance for
helping to PASS THIS ON.
 
And if you have a motorcycle and want to come along,
please do.

Regards

Roy Adair
