Since a child Ive always dreamt of going to the inca trail, so when my friend said she was setting this challenge for herself, the idea excited and scared me. When I found out it was for Alzheimer's, it was an easy yes - well with the support of my family; who said they would help me train and fundraise!    

My lovely mum, Dolly/Doll/Doris is sadly suffering with this cruel disease, over the past 20 years Ive watched my mums mental health deteriorate and then witnessed her become a different person, we stil get Dolly sometimes, but its not an easy thing to see happen to anyone -let alone your mum!  I also encourage exercise at a local care home for sufferers and have done for the last 10 years; every week I go in, it still upsets and shocks me.  Its heartbreaking to see personalities being lost and ladies and gentlemen becoming something far removed from whom they once were... Dancers, police constables, fighting in world war 2 and some much younger lost to a confined, restrictive world of a care home..... With research and help maybe we can change this!  Help me improve the lives of these wonderful people. Help try to reduce this degenerative disease.Helping to make a difference.  This is why I chose to help, one step at a time, one foot in front of the other because I can; and each step will help and lead me to the top of a mountain - a dream I once thought of as a girl coming true, whilst helping others....

Trek 19th -29th September - I /we did it / Thanks to such a professional team 💛
