The ITV star completed an amazing sporting achievement over the weekend
after contracting a virus, so it was lovely to see the ITV star back on top form on Sunday, completing a sporting achievement for a very special reason.
The 63-year-old took part in the Alzheimer's Society Memory Walk, with attendees choosing between 2km and 7km routes to raise money for awareness of the disease. Known for being super-fit,and hitting her step target on a regular basis, the walk was likely no struggle for Ruth, but the session did begin with a Zumba warm-up, which saw Ruth's trademark fringe ruffled up with sweat!
Speaking on her enjoyment of attending the special event, Ruth wrote on Instagram: "Great morning supporting Alzheimer's Society doing the annual Memory Walk. Thanks to this gang who help make it happen. See you again next year guys.
Dementia is a cause close to Ruth's heart, after her father Dennis passed away in 2012 due to complications caused by the disease.Ruth's dad was cared for by her beloved mother Joan for the last 13 years of his life. Thestar is extremely close to her mother, who is in her nineties and regular crops up on Instagram, with the duo often having lunch together.
Another added: "Ahhhh Ruth. You are so so lucky. There’s never enough time to enjoy these precious times with a mum. They don’t last forever…. I wish they did.
