It\u2019s a subject that is very close to my heart as my grandma and great uncle both suffered from dementia, and after reading that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cardiff.ac.uk\/research\/news\/challenge-cardiff\/its-not-just-about-the-dementia\">at least one in four acute hospital beds is now occupied by someone diagnosed with dementia<\/a> I wanted to find a way to help raise awareness and support the groundbreaking research at\u00a0Cardiff University. This is where running came in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019ve always had a love\/hate relationship with running, however after joining a local running club I fell back in love with it and I wanted to use it to direct my energy towards an amazing cause. I\u2019ve loved my training journey as it has enabled me to spend more time outdoors, discover new places and meet new people. It has also made me realise how incredibly lucky we are to have two beautiful parks in the heart of Cardiff.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I\u2019m so thankful to\u00a0everyone who has sponsored me so far. Because of their amazing generosity I\u2019ve now beaten my initial fundraising target. I\u2019m feeling confident about the big day and I\u2019m looking forward to running alongside the rest of #TeamCardiff in support of such\u00a0a great cause&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to support Sophie please visit her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justgiving.com\/fundraising\/Sophie-Puet\">JustGiving <\/a>page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Puet (BA 2014) (MSC 2015)\u00a0is running the Cardiff University\/Cardiff Half Marathon for dementia and mental health research; a cause\u00a0close to her heart. \"I\u2019ve chosen to run for dementia and [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":1080,"featured_media":1342,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[142,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-donate","category-uncategorized"],"meta_box":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1080"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1341"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1341\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1345,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1341\/revisions\/1345"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.cardiff.ac.uk\/alumni\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
