I'm taking part in the November Swim Challenge
I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK and raising funds for families affected by dementia. In memory of my Mum, who sadly passed away with Vascular Dementia this year.
Supporting Mum through dementia was one of the hardest and loneliest experiences of my life. The waiting list for a diagnostic appointment at the Memory Assessment Clinic, was over nine months and unfortunately my mum passed away before we could access that service, during this time I often felt very alone, trying to understand what was happening and how best to care for her. Being an only child in this experience made it all the more so tricky.
But there was support that made a difference. Through phone calls and meetings in hospital, outreach nurses and community support, that helped me navigate caring for Mum. Having someone listen, offer guidance and support me while I supported her meant so much.
That’s why this challenge matters to me. I want to honour Mum’s memory and help other families access support when they’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain or alone.
If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Sharing my fundraising page would also mean a lot.
I will keep you updated on my journey on this cold November as the weeks go by!
This swim is for you, Mum. ❤️
"£19 Could pay for the telephone costs of five families calling our free Helpline whenever they need support"
"£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support"
