I’m Don Shanks. This November I’m tackling the NYC Marathon to raise funds for Alzheimer’s Society 🏃♂️ Join #RunToRemember & donate to the cause!
Joined October 2025
It’s not too late to donate!! 🙏 What a journey 🏃♂️ — from the start line to the finish, every mile and every step was worth it for Alzheimer’s Society 💙 As you can see, I’ve earned myself a pint… so if you’d like to buy me one, make it a donation instead 😉🍺 Link in bio!

Today is match day! It’s all been leading to this moment — the NYC Marathon. This is more than a race — it’s my Run to Remember. For those we’ve loved and lost, and for the moments that remind us why we keep going. Whatever happens, I’ll have earned a pint by the end of this!

‘Stan’s gone, but Alzheimer’s is still here unfortunately.' Tomorrow our supporter Don Shanks will be taking on an incredible challenge - running the New York Marathon in memory of his friend Stan Bowles, who lived with Alzheimer’s disease and sadly passed away last year. Don

Thanks to @SkySportsNews for having me on, and to @MissBelaShah for the great chat! It was important to me to talk about my Run to Remember and raising awareness for @alzheimerssoc 💙 Every chance to share the message means more support for a cause so close to my heart.

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. It takes away memories and the people we love. I’m running the NYC Marathon to help change that. At 73, every mile is a challenge, but it’s nothing compared to what families face every day. Please donate if you can https://t.co/DJQdOpfioI
