I'm doing Winter Reading Challenge for Dementia UK

This winter, I'm reading and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Why am I doing this?

Sunday 20th Sep

982,000. Thats how many people are estimated to be living with Dementia in the UK. But Dementia doesnt just effect one person, it also has an inpact on the people who love them.

Dementia UK is so important because they are the only UK wide charity that is providing specialist dementia care for the whole family.

Dementia slowly took my grandad from us before he actually passed. So I would like to raise as much money as I can so that the family's who are currently living through that slow fading can get help and support for themselves and their loved one.
