Cheer Squad volunteer London Landmarks Half Marathon

What You'll Do: 

Are you looking for a new volunteering opportunity? Volunteering with Alzheimer's Research UK is a great way to enhance your CV, meet new people and gain a new experience whilst supporting our mission to find a cure for dementia.

 

Over 500 incredible supporters are taking on the London Landmarks Half Marathon fundraising for Alzheimer's Research UK. Runners will pass by the capital’s iconic landmarks.

 

Join our cheer squad celebrating London Science to support our runners along the route. There will be a DJ an open top sightseeing bus and runners in lab coats, a cheer point not to miss!

 

Your support will give runners the motivation to push on. With your support the cheer point will be unmissable!

 

By donating your time, you are part of our mission to find a cure for dementia.

What: Cheering, clapping, photography, and enthusiasm!
