KPMG has reached its fundraising target of £1 million for Alzheimer’s Society over
one month ahead of schedule with further events still to be held.

KPMG staff voted in 2008 for Alzheimer’s Society to be the firm’s main charitable
focus. Since then staff across the UK have been involved in a variety of activities
to raise funds and raise awareness to help people with dementia, their families 
and carers.

John Griffith-Jones, Senior Partner of [KPMG](http://www.kpmg.co.uk) in the UK, 
said: “The highlight of the partnership came this summer, after a marathon nationwide
bike ride in which KPMG staff clocked up more than 15,000 miles. 250 partners and
staff, their families, plus alumni and clients took part in KPMG’s ‘Big Blue Bike
Ride’ to raise more than £170,000 for Alzheimer’s Society”.
