I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK

This April, I'm jogging one mile each day 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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 Dementia

Sunday 6th Apr
Having watched my Father-in-law  Tony live with this slowly debilitating condition over 5+years (it was longer than this but this was when it was most noticeable) when things were really tough for the rest of the family. 

The person living with Dementia seems to be none the wiser but equally living with this condition that robs you of your memories and independence is so hard to witness and must be hard to compute as the person living like this. 

The close family it is the toughest for be that your husband/ father/ or grand dad. It is tricky to watch the one you love slowly change to someone who doesn’t have independence. 

Tony lived his last years in a nursing home to keep him safe and  looked after. 

It is tough for everyone involved and hence why I am wanting to do my bit to raise some funds to try to support people living with this  condition or help find a cure as it is hard to watch and seems to becoming more common. 

If you can spare a small donation it would be much appreciated. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
