I'm walking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK

This June, I'm walking 60 Miles 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. 

I am particularly dedicating this challenge to my loving parents, Ami and Abu, who are currently suffering from Dementia. I talk to them everyday on a video call as they are in another country, but they do not remember my name, unless they are told. While seeing me brings a smile to their face, I cannot share anything with them about my life. And this makes me feel lonely and sad. But I still call them just to see their lovely faces and remember the two wonderful people who raised me as a child and gave me everything they could. 

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.

Seeing your loved ones suffer from Dementia is not easy.

Thank you for your donation!
