Story
Dementia is a broad term that describes a wide variety of conditions that affect the brain; one of the most recognised conditions is Alzheimer’s. Dementia is not a problem that can be easily solved, and it sadly affects about 1 in 6 over 80s, or 1 in 4 over 50s. With this disease people can suffer a range of symptoms, the most well-known being memory loss. This loss can even progress to the point where the person is unable to remember how to look after themselves. It is emotionally impactful upon the families of those affected, as they can quickly lose the person they love even while looking after their daily needs.
With our event we are hoping to raise money in aid of a charity that rekindles old memories through the use of music, which has been shown to give dementia sufferers temporary relief from their symptoms. We think this is a wonderful and innovative way of reconnecting with loved ones, and want to help them to continue to do this, and continue to help more people.
This charity is very dear to our team and we hope that even if it doesn’t directly help those we love we can help others to rediscover old memories, and to see again a glimpse of those loved ones they thought lost.
