WHY I AM SWIMMING 10K FOR DEMENTIA UK
Monday 2nd NovI have chosen to swim 10K to raise money for dementia UK because this is a cause that is very close to my heart.
As a carer working at Fairways Newydd, I see first-hand the devastating effects dementia can have, not only on the individuals living with the condition but also on their families and loved ones. I witness the confusion, the challenges, the loss of independence and the impact it can have on a person's quality of life. It is heartbreaking to see people who have lived such full and meaningful lives face these difficulties.
My work has shown me just how important compassion, patience, understanding and dignity are when caring for someone with dementia. It has also made me realise how much more needs to be done to support those affected and to fund vital research into better treatments and, hopefully, a cure.
Swimming 10K will be a personal challenge, both physically and mentally, but I am determined to push myself for a cause that truly matters. Every stroke will be a reminder of the beloved residents we care for at Fairways and their families who face the challenges of dementia every day.
I hope that by taking on this challenge, I can raise awareness, inspire others to support this important cause and make a meaningful contribution towards a better future for people living with dementia.
I may be swimming 10K, but my biggest motivation is to make a difference. Every donation, no matter how small, will help bring us one step closer to a world where people affected by dementia receive the support, care and understanding they deserve.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me on this journey.
