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!

Chapter One
Thursday 8th OctI have always loved reading, so it feels like a privilege to be able to do something I love while raising money for a cause that is deeply close to my heart.
I have seen and experienced firsthand the quiet, often unseen grief that comes with caring for someone living with dementia. It is a cruel and heartbreaking disease, and the journey for those living with it, and for the families and carers who walk beside them, can be incredibly difficult, exhausting and lonely.
There are so many moments of loss along the way, often long before the person is truly gone. And yet, alongside that grief, there is so much love, courage and devotion.
By taking part in this challenge, I hope I can play a small part in raising awareness and supporting those affected by dementia.
If, through something as simple as reading, I can help to light a candle in the darkness for those living with dementia and those who care for them, then every page will be worth it.
