Dementia is a term used to describe various different brain disorders that have in common a loss of brain function that is usually progressive and eventually severe.

As you can see, everyone on this team has a very personal interest in helping the Alzheimer's Society raise as much money as possible to enable more carers to be trained and more research to be conducted on the causes and cures.  To see where your money will go click on this page - http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?categoryID=200123&documentID=294
