Among the Alzheimer's Society team were four celebrity runners - Apprentice winner, Yasmina Siadatan, Oasis drummer Alan White, television presenter Richard McCourt and jazz crooner Rick Guard, who pounded the streets of London in support of the charity.

Director of Fundraising and Marketing, Jo Swinhoe, said:

'We would like to say an enormous thank you to all our runners who rose to the challenge of the Virgin London Marathon 2010. We are incredibly fortunate to have such dedicated supporters, and are truly grateful for all the training, effort and energy they have put in to completing the Marathon to raise funds for Alzheimer's Society.

There are currently 750,000 people with dementia in the UK. Alzheimer's Society supports people to live well with dementia today and funds research to find a cure for tomorrow. We rely on voluntary donations so every single mile which our fantastic team ran will help fund the charity's vital work.'

Alzheimer's Society also had an enthusiastic team of supporters on the sidelines, who cheered, whistled and high-fived the charity's runners, sending them on their way with a smile on their faces.

Recruitment for the Virgin London Marathon 2011 begins on 4 May 2010. Anyone interested in running for Alzheimer's Society can visit alzheimers.org.uk/running
