Winter Reading Challenge

I'm doing Winter Reading Challenge for Dementia UK

This winter, I'm reading 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.

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!

Why I'm doing this

Tuesday 15th Sep
My stepfather was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia a few years ago, so I am seeing first hand what this awful illness does not only to the person with Dementia but their loved ones.
Each day you wonder if he will recognise/remember who you are, and it's just going to continue getting harder and harder to see you're loved ones as they slowly lose themselves.
