Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My husband, Paul, was diagnosed with Posterior Cortical Atrophy, a visual variant form of Alzheimer's, almost three years ago. He has always been a runner, purely for pleasure. Now he runs with guide runners because of his visual processing difficulties. He is 56 years old, can no longer read and has difficulty processing distance, depth and speed, amongst other things! Running is a challenge these days, but he wants to continue to run for as long as he is able.
He relies upon family to get him out and about and friends to help him to continue to enjoy his hobbies; running, music and art.
PCA is considered rare and is one of many so called rare forms of early onset dementia that affect around 64,000 people in the UK alone - at least the ones that are known about.
He is raising money for research to help towards early diagnosis, support and towards deeper understanding of this life changing disease.
