November 5km Swim Challenge
This November, my little sister Ava and I are taking part in the Swim Challenge for Dementia UK and raising money for families affected by dementia. We will be swimming 5km between us, which is 200 lengths of a 25m pool.
This cause is very close to my family’s heart because in March, we lost our incredible grandad Ernie to this horrible disease. We have so many amazing memories with our grandad and are all still coming to terms with his loss.
Our hope is that any money we can raise, can help the many patients and families that are affected by dementia every day.
We would be super grateful for your support, no matter how big or small.
Over 944,000 people in the UK alone live with dementia and just £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.
In memory of our amazing grandad, we love and miss you everyday 💙
Thank you everyone xx
