I'm walking 50 Miles in September for Dementia UK in honour of my Mum
This September, I'm walking 50 Miles in honour of my wonderful Mum, who was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia just before Christmas and is now in a full-time nursing home. Mum has spent her entire life looking after others - now she has to allow other people to help her with all her needs, which is so incredibly hard for her. Dementia is a wicked disease and she deserved so much better. I've spent all my (very nearly) 50 years being in awe of her and that will never stop. I'm taking on this challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support in lieu of forthcoming birthday gifts/cards.
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.
On behalf of Mum, my family and myself, thank you.
