Team BRACE raises over £6,000 at Bath Half Marathon
A huge congratulations to #TeamBRACE, who took on the Bath Half Marathon on Sunday 15th March 2026, raising an incredible £6,200 (including Gift Aid) for dementia research, and counting.
Runners faced challenging conditions on the day, with wet and windy weather adding an extra layer of difficulty to the already demanding 13.1-mile course.
Thanks to their fundraising efforts, #TeamBRACE has already raised enough to fund 383 hours of vital dementia research. Every pound brought in will help support BRACE-funded studies into the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of dementia.
BRACE runner, Chris:
"This cause is close to my heart. My dad has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and my nan also suffered with dementia which is why taking on this challenge feels really worthwhile.
With 1 in 3 people born in the UK today expected to develop dementia, supporting research has never been more important.
I’m definitely not a natural runner, so training for a half marathon is proving to be… an adventure 😅 but knowing I’m running for something that truly matters makes every mile count."
Fancy taking on a similar challenge? There are opportunities all year round to race for BRACE and help support dementia research.
