Winter Reading Challenge

I'm doing Winter Reading Challenge for Dementia UK

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.

The aim is to read everyday, a few pages or an entire novel, log your minutes and see how many books you can get through to help families affected by dementia.

I’ll be recording my minutes and writing a blog on the site every week so you can follow what I’m doing.

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.

This charity is close to my heart as my mum is a sufferer. I hope they find a cure quickly as it impacts the entire family and friends.

Thank you in advance for any donation, big or small, you make! 💕

Starting the Challenge - Day 1

Thursday 8th Oct
I’m reading As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh.  It’s backdrop is the Syrian revolution, and is heartbreaking and lovely is equal measure. 
I read for only 15 minutes today, between having dinner and watching Australia Masterchef 😊
