Thank you for supporting me to take part in Memory Walk this year and raise much needed funds for Alzheimer's Society.

All of the money I raise will help support people living with dementia and their families, so your donation will make a huge difference.

Christina and I have had first hand experience of how dementia affects those suffering from the illness and the direct impact on their families. This disease has no borders and affects millions of people. Many suffer in silence but the silence is deafening – only today I have heard that clinical tests may offer some hope but they may not be with us for years. We must act today and support the people who support our loved ones.
