Raising Money for the Alzheimer's Society - Baydon's Jo Cooling In memory of my Mum, who suffered with Alzheimer's for 7 years before her death in 2010, I am raising money this year for the Alzheimer's Society. This will culminate in a high altitude trek in Peru in September, ending at Machu Picchu. As well as raising money through sponsorship for the trek, I will be doing various fund raising events. My company have very kindly sponsored me enough to cover the cost of the trip, so all money raised will go straight to the Alzheimer's Society. Finally if you would like to sponsor me for the trek, I have a JustGiving page being : https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/joanne-cooling
