Ruth Langsford has shared a heartfelt message with fans about a cause that's close to her heart.

She took to Instagram to post a message alongside a picture with her dog, Maggie.

The Alzheimer's Society replied, thanking Ruth for her support. They wrote, 'Thank you so, so much Ruth 💙 Lots of love to you and Maggie 🐶❤️#MemoryWalk'

The 60-year-old lost her dad, Dennis, to Alzheimer's back in 2012, so it's a cause that's close to her heart.

And fans were quick to show their support for the cause, too.

'My mum sister and I walked 10km for my nan and Aunty today who were twins and both suffered with this cruel disease . We walked in our local park and lots of people clapped us around the route,' wrote one follower.

While another said, 'Well done Ruth , next year everyone will be together , hopefully xxx❤️'

Ruth has previously spoken about losing her dad on Loose Women. She shared with the audience, "I was grieving and losing my dad but my mum was losing the love of her life, the man she married and had children with.

"They had years and years of memories. You don't often hear people talking about that side of it.

"When my dad went into care, my mum was so distraught... You do hope, but you know they probably won't get better."
