I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge

I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK for my mum Gill 🥰

3 and a half years ago life as I'd known it changed dramatically over the course of a day for mum and us following a serious stroke that triggered Vascular Demntia. 

With little support from the hospital, occupational health or social care teams we found ourselves in unknown territory. Whilst dealing with the trauma and immediacy of the situation, we also found ourselves having to learn a new world of politics, legalities, bureaucratic red tape, incompetence and lack of care or understanding from every avenue bar 3 core people alongside Dementia UK and the Alzheimer's Society and for that I am truly grateful. 

I hope you never need to be in a situation where you'll need them, but without organisations like this, some families would crumble so please donate anything you can from a family that knows forst hand the value of such charities.

Thank you!
