I'm swimming for Dementia UK

In Loving Memory of Patricia Ridley

I'm raising money in memory of my wonderful mum, Patricia Ridley, who sadly passed away just shy of two years ago after living with dementia for 16 years. 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 as I plan on swimming 15 km in 30 days.

Dementia is a devastating disease. It slowly steals memories, independence, confidence and, heartbreakingly, the little moments that make someone who they are. While it affects the person living with it, it also has a profound impact on the family and friends who love them.

Watching Mum's journey with dementia was incredibly difficult, but throughout it all she remained deeply loved. Her strength, courage and the memories we shared before dementia took hold will stay with me forever.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you're unable to donate, simply sharing this page would mean the world to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read Mum's story and for helping me keep Pat Ridley's memory alive while supporting a cause that touches so many families.

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!
