I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK
This April, I'm jogging one mile each day and raising funds. I am raising money for dementia in honor of my grandpa, who has been diagnosed with this heartbreaking condition. Seeing the gradual changes in his memory and personality has been incredibly difficult for our family. Dementia affects not just the person living with it, but everyone who loves and cares for them. It can be hard to watch someone you love struggle with confusion, forgetfulness, and even moments of not recognizing their own family.
By raising money, I hope to contribute to research efforts that can lead to breakthroughs in understanding and treating dementia. It’s a cause that hits close to home, and I want to support initiatives that will help improve the quality of life for those living with the disease. Additionally, funds will help support caregivers and families who are navigating the challenges of dementia on a daily basis.
Every donation brings us one step closer to a future where dementia is no longer a mystery, and those affected have access to better care, treatment options, and ultimately, a cure. My grandpa is just one of many people impacted by this disease, and I am committed to helping raise awareness and funds to make a difference."
Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!
