I'm walking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK

This June, I'm walking 60 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!

How Dementia Affects Me

Friday 8th May
My mother suffers with both Dementia and Parkinson’s Disease. She still has her long term  memory for now but her short term memory is pretty much nonexistent. I know it’s only a matter of time before she starts losing her important memories. It’s not so much her I’m concerned about as she won’t even realise much of what she loses, but it’s going to devastate my Dad, my children and myself who helped build these memories with her. This disease is a thief of the most important things in the lives of sufferers, their families and friends. One day, hopefully, they can find a cure for this cruel disease so that future generations don’t have to suffer and worry in the same way.
