Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am taking part in a Charity bike ride from East Peckham in Kent all the way to Newquay Cornwall in September to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.
My brother Clive has assembled a group of friends which have all (stupidly & in some cases under the influence of alcohol) agreed to join us on this short ride through the countryside. We are planning on splitting the 300 mile journey over 4 Days.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I look forward to your support
This is a charity close to my heart as my mum has Alzheimers and is in the fairly advanced stages, as a family we have had first hand experience of the illness over the past 5 years or so, spending time with other sufferers as well as the carers who do such an amazing job.
A family member of an Alzheimers sufferer on a support forum refers to people with the disease as the Invisibles. Alzheimers is a terminal illness as is Cancer, although instead of being surrounded by people they love and having the chance to say their goodbyes and spend precious time with their family before the disease fully takes hold, Alzheimers sufferers tend to have a very different experience. People find this disease difficult to face and I believe sufferers should receive the same level of love and attention they always have unfortunately the nature of the disease makes it easy for them to become 'invisible'.
