Winter Reading Challenge

I'm doing Winter Reading Challenge for Dementia UK

This winter, I'm reading 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!

Reading for my Grandad ❤️

Thursday 1st Oct
I've decided to put my reading habits to good use this winter to raise some money for an organisation that helps families with this heartbreaking condition. 

The pain and sadness that comes with loving someone with dementia is a whole other beast entirely and the loss of my grandad in January still leaves a massive hole in our lives, for someone so loud and loving and down right incredible. My grandad only had a short experience with the vascular dementia (whether that can be seen as a good thing or not is somewhat debatable, depending on how you look at it) but as a family we did our best to not let the condition take over who he was as a person and I'd like to believe, even in the end when he was no longer very responsive, that he knew just how loved he was and that nothing changed that. 

Any and all contributions towards this fundraiser would be greatly appreciated ❤️
