Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
- I walked approx 103k steps of various sizes shapes and difficulty. approx 100 km over 6 days, dirt treks , narrow treks with deep ravines.
We as a group have collected over over 85000 pounds as against a target of 110,000.
Quotes from Arlene Phillips interview in the Daily mail this week.
“The Alzheimer’s Society predicts that by next year there will be 850,000 dementia sufferers in the UK, costing the country as much as £26billion a year. By 2025, more than one million people are likely to be affected. In light of this, Miss Phillips said she wants to see more done to change society’s attitudes towards dementia and relieve the ‘overwhelming’ burden placed on families left to care for loved ones.”
She spent years caring for her father as he battled Alzheimer’s disease . Arlene Phillips is haunted by regret over how she treated him, as she struggled to understand the nature of his illness
“‘I can’t tell you how much I regret [the way I treated my father] and how many times I relive moments in my head, wishing I’d thought about it more
I'm taking part in the Great Wall of China Trek on 27/10/2014 to raise money for Alzheimer's Society and I'd really appreciate your support.
I've managed to raise £3,214.25 online for Alzheimer's Society so far - Many thanks to all those who have helped and contributed so generously to bring this about.
I would still like to reach my target of £4000 and so am appealing to a wider audience.
Your contribution will assist us in investigating the causes and a cure for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.
