Story

Me and my Son Jack are going to walk 1k each day

because we want to help Dementia UK provide specialist nurses to support families affected by Dementia. 

This year myself and my colleagues voted to support a Charity for 2023. We chose Dementia UK. 

Myself, my colleagues - Team DOS along with my son wanting to join on the fundraising fun!  Will all be taking part to raise awareness and support for this incredible cause. 

All donations, contributions and support welcome. 

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain.

Each type of dementia stops a person’s brain cells (neurones) working properly in specific areas, affecting their ability to remember, think and speak.

There are over 200 subtypes of dementia. The most common are Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia and mixed dementia.

Dementia can affect a person at any age but it’s more common in people over the age of 65.

By 2025, it’s estimated that over one million people in the UK will have a diagnosis of dementia – and almost all of us will know someone living with the condition.

There are over 900,000 people living with dementia in the UK and this is set to rise to over one million by 2025.
