Going the Extra Mile: Frank Foster House Manager Completes Half Marathon for Alzheimer’s Research

Nicolas half marathon

Staff and residents at Frank Foster House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, are celebrating an incredible achievement.  Home manager of Frank Foster House, Nicolas, completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 12th of October 2025. The team managed to raise an incredible £400 for Alzheimer’s research.

Running on behalf of those affected by dementia, Nicolas trained hard and completed the 13.1-mile race with determination and heart, all to support a cause close to the Frank Foster House community.

Nicolas was privileged to run for such an important cause, especially knowing the money raised will go to a very special cause. The entire home came together to cheer Nicolas on, with many residents sharing their own words of support and admiration.

Alzheimer’s affects millions of lives, and support through fundraising is essential in many ways. Donations can help to develop new treatments and improve care. It also raises awareness, breaks stigmas and brings communities together in hope.

Frank Foster House believes in the power of community action, and Nicolas’s run is a brilliant example of how one person’s effort can make a lasting impact.
