I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 Miles 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!

My Mum

Tuesday 4th Aug
I am doing this to raise funds to help people like my beautiful Mum who has been destroyed by this heinous disease and families affected by it. I can’t even begin to explain fully how awful it is to watch someone you love disappear more each day! Also what it has done to my Dad. They should be enjoying their retirement now not living the nightmare that is Dementia!

My heart goes out we knew a small side of Dementia as Mam didn't live long enough for it to go to the extreme but we saw the difference in her and how he memory deteriorated within 6 months of even she had her first symptoms
