Dementia has been at the centre of our family for the past 5 years. Our grandmother, Brigid, was diagnosed in December 2017, and ever since we have been living and coping with the effects that Dementia has not only on her, but on the entirety of our family circle. We are fundraising to help find a cure, or even a viable treatment, for Dementia.

Dementia is the UKs biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes, and currently there is no cure. We know it is scary facing up to it, but we must confront the biggest health & social care challenge of our time. After Covid-19, dementia was the leading cause of death in the UK in 2020. We owe it to the 900,000 people across the country currently living with dementia, and their families, to spearhead a campaign for change, whilst providing vital day-to-day support now. By taking part and raising sponsorship, or donating to someone who is, you are helping us do this. Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to Alzheimer's Society. It's the most efficient way to fundraise, saving time and cutting costs for charities. So, who do you walk for? #memorywalk
