Winter Reading Challenge

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!

My Updates

Monday 26th Oct
Today I finished “Incidents around the house” I rated it 1.5 ⭐️ I didn’t enjoy the story line and just found it really silly and lacking any depth! This book has been adapted into the movie “other Mommy” that’s currently out in cinemas. 

I started reading “Grim Tidings” by B.K Borrison. I read 123 pages of it yesterday and I’m really enjoying it so far

My story

Saturday 17th Oct
Hi everyone, with being an avid reader I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to raise money for a cause close to my heart. 
For those of you who aren’t aware, my Dad was diagnosed with early on set Alzheimer’s 3 years ago this month. It’s been tough for me and my family to navigate around this awful condition and come to terms with what the future may look like. 
Any donations would be greatly appreciated and I hope this helps spread a bit more awareness for people going through this tough time. 
I’ll post updates on my reading here so keep an eye out of you are interested. ❤️
