Richard Thompson leads 100-lap Lord's walk to shine spotlight on dementia

ECB Chair honours late father with Lord's challenge

Lord's Cricket Ground has played host to hundreds of centuries over the years, but earlier this week it witnessed a very different kind of 100.

The iconic outfield was used for a challenge to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and to shine a spotlight on dementia by walking 100 laps. The idea came from ECB Chair and ICC Board member Richard Thompson, whose father died from the condition.

Alison Mitchell caught up with Thompson as they completed the challenge, which used one of cricket's most famous venues to draw attention to a disease that affects millions of families.
