After a challenging few years I wanted to raise some money and awareness for local charity, Butterflies Memory Loss Support, who have recently been supporting me and my family. What better way to create awareness than to be joined by 3 of my best pals on this years Hull half marathon on the 11th June. 

Butterflies meetings are seen as a lifeline to the people who join them, often they have become isolated because of their diagnosis. They are able to make new friends and share experiences with others facing the same challenges . Butterflies rely entirely on fundraising to provide their services. Without your help, they will be unable to provide the vital services to those who come to them in need. Help us change the lives of whole families affected by dementia.

How will your money help?

£30 will pay for a day trip for one person. Memory loss can create a huge sense of isolation for both the patient and their carers. Butterflies Memory Loss Support Group provides stimulating and fun social activities that can provide a renewed sense of belonging and offer a degree of normality.

£12 will provide a memory book. Our dedicated volunteers work with our members and their families to create a memory book that can be cherished by the whole family for years to come. Each book carries its own individualities that can stimulate memories and capture time spent together. The books are developed by each family and the journey of completing each page is filed with laughter and smiles.

£5 will pay for simple activity session with a volunteer.

Thank you for your support.
