I'm walking 30 miles in September
As many friends and family will know, I have now lost my Mum (3 years ago) and my Dad (a few months ago) to dementia. It is so hard to explain the pain that dementia causes; from the frustration and confusion in my parents at the start of this horrible journey we have lived for about 15 years, to the pain you feel as you gradually lose them what seems like time after time and then the extended ending… it is surprising how many times your heart can break.
No one should have to endure what they did or watch as we did. So I’m joining Dementia UK and walking 30 Miles in September, to raise funds for other families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.
An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.
Anything that anyone is able to offer is very gratefully received.
Thank you xxx
