I'm swimming for Dementia UK

I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming Challenge and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia  charity, and would be grateful for your support.
For over 15 years, I have had the privilege of working within the specialist  NHS ddementia service in Colchester. During that time, I have seen first-hand the heartbreak that dementia can bring- not only to those living with the disease, but also to their families and the people who support them. 
I have always strived to provide reassurance, assessment  and information to those going through the often frightening process of a diagnosis, as well as education and support for those caring and supporting them.
Sadly, we are still a long way  from finding a cure for this heartbreaking disease. So taking part in this 10 mile challenge is the very least I can do to show my support for the  individuals and their families I have so much compassion for.
Every donation, no matter how small, will help support those affected by dementia and contribute towards making 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 any challenges they may encounter. 
Thank you so very much for support ♥️
