10k swim challenge

I’m taking part in the November Swim Challenge for Dementia UK and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Jo sharples poem - forget me not

Friday 21st Nov
I look at your beautiful face but I cannot remember your name ‘cos I forgot,

However I still love you dearly so please forget me not.

Don’t ask me to remember things as my memory is not as it used to be,

Don’t treat me differently as deep down I’m still here - it’s still me!

At times I try to say something, but it’s hard to utter the right words,

Be patient with me, hug me and forgive me when I release emotional outbursts.

There might be instances when I keep repeating myself or stare at a clock,

Come and sit with me, cuddle me, reassure me - forget me not!

When I get agitated and find it hard to sleep at night,

Speak to me softly, hold my hand gently and tell me that everything’s gonna be alright!

I enjoy the outdoors where I can see flowers, trees and the sea which I prefer most,

Don’t leave me, stand beside me, as I get scared if I get lost.

Don’t ask me to tell you what day it is, ‘cos no matter how hard I try to remember, I cannot,

However recall those times when I taught YOU the names of the days of the week, so forget me not!

Sometimes I find it hard to look after myself ‘cos I forgot how,

Please don’t shout at me or scold me as this is how I am now.

When I don’t eat please help me, don’t tell me off and make me cry,

Be compassionate, understand me and do praise me when I try.

Life can be hard, so let’s enjoy the happy times as I don’t know how many moments together we’ve got,

Look after me, make me happy and when the parting time comes, forget me not!

Swim/walk

Friday 21st Nov
This challenge is predominantly a swim challenge but also walk a mile to and from the pool, which I have added to my activity log (&is a great way to warm up/down before and after the swim) 🙂💪🏼

All donations are appreciated, even just a few quid would contribute funds towards help for people who suffer with dementia.

Thanks for reading, have a lovely day

Dementia swim fundraiser

Monday 17th Nov
I am swimming /walking a minimum of 20k this month to potentially help raise money for dementia charity, I plan to swim further than 20k and also will be doing another similar longer distance challenge in December.
Even a small donation would help provide someone with dementia get professional emotional support, specialist nurse care and also go towards research into the development of new treatments.
All donations are really appreciated..
Thanks for reading. 

Happy swimming...
