Walking for my Dad!

Monday 31st Aug My lovely dad was recently diagnosed with mixed dementia.  As a family our whole world has shifted.  My mum is dealing with the loss of a man who could turn his hand to anything and indeed would do anything to help anyone - particularly his own family.  His world is shrinking as he does and remembers less and less, and my sister and I  offer as much support as we can whilst juggling our own family and work commitments.  This September I will be joining thousands of others as we walk a mile every day to raise money for Dementia UK.  Every penny raised goes towards helping families who are dealing with this devastating diagnosis on a daily basis.  Keeping me company me on my walks will be Viking and Willow my lovely rough collies along with other family members and friends.  Share
