Grandad 🩵

Saturday 1st Aug

This September, I'm walking 30 Miles 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.

Like many families we have suffered loss through this cruel disease, firstly losing my beautiful grandad in 2014, and now following a stroke in 2023, my husband has been diagnosed with MCI which has many dementia type characteristics. There is an increased risk he could develop vascular dementia  in the next couple of years. 

Days are difficult and we have to take each day at a time making lots of adjustments but there is lots of support available through this amazing charity. 

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!
