Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I will appreciate any small amount you can offer to support me on this journey!
On the 21st May I’ll be running the Great West Run half marathon for Age UK Exeter in memory of both my Mums - I’m lucky to have had two!
Peta (Hilary) Gibson & Jane Way, also known as Nonna & Granny.
Having previously lost my mum to PSP and now my ‘step mum’ to Alzheimer’s, both of which are hideous diseases involving a lot of care and unknown territories.
I chose Age UK as they provide a fantastic service offering advice and support for older people, their families and carers and those living with Dementia & Alzheimer’s.
Having had experience of what Alzheimer’s does I know how hard it is for the carer, the person living with it and their families and equally with those living with PSP, an unknown form of Parkinsons.
Age UK have a great national phone line offering free and confidential information, advice and support that’s open 365 days a year. Free phone: 0800 0556 6112.
Age UK Exeter are a local charity working across Exeter for over 30 years. They offer support and engaging activities for older people, their families and carers. Their mission is to enable older people to make the most of life whatever their circumstances.
