I'm swimming for Dementia UK

I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming Challenge 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!

Swimming in memory of my mum Rita Reid

Tuesday 23rd Jun
Dementia is a cruel illness that after two years of suffering robbed us of our mum in January 2025.
I called Dementia UK a couple of times during that time and they were very kind and supportive.
I have been thinking of my mum a lot lately and I know that she would not want me to be down which is easily to slip into so I thought I would get off the sofa and do something useful also before she became ill she used to love swimming.  I think she would approve. Xx
