Dear Sir,,

Just wanted to express my thanks for publishing my late wife’s story in last week’s Newton News.

I was a little disappointed with my time for the run but overwhelmed by the generosity of family, friends and the readership of the Newton News and Northern Echo. Their support has helped me raise over £1200 and I will receive a further £750 from my former employers, Barclays Bank.

Thank you all on behalf of Alzheimer’s Research UK.

John
