Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and please take a few short minutes of your time to read this-   You probably think I'm mad for doing this or inviting you to do it with me ... which maybe I am, but I know that showing support and raising awareness for those affected by Alzheimer's would make a huge difference to so many lives. 

My gran passed away this year after living with Alzheimer's.  We were so lucky to have her and to have the supportive, strong and loving family that we do.  Not everyone is that fortunate.  So the organisation- Alzheimer's Scotland are that support and extended family for many.  

My gran began bagging munros with my papa later on in her life.  It was a source of joy, pride and accomplishment and more importantly strong and emotive memories for her.   And you don't need me to tell you the importance of memories, especially to those who have experience of Alzheimer's.  But my gran still remembered those  memories even when other ones weren't so clear and it still brought her joy. So did her love of music.  

This is what inspired me to help this way in particular. I want to climb my first Munro! ...Ben lomond- with a group of supportive and amazing people and I'll give you all a stone painted by someone living with Alzheimer's to take up and place on the cairn at the top! Then with good luck my lovely musical friends will play us a short gig of some older songs while we rest and refresh and take lots of pictures before heading back down to celebrate our accomplishment.  We can work together - to climb the Munro and to help Alzheimer's scotland continue to support and advise and make a difference to so many lives.  At the very least it will be a day of fun and laughter and friendships!   C'mon...... you know you want to ....
