There are an estimated 850,000 people in the UK who have dementia. My dad is one of them. 

This disease has had a profound impact on both my father and my family. And we are just one of many families facing similar challenges and heartache.

Together with my great friends Viv, Ione and Sarah, I will be hiking, walking, maybe crawling, around the Brecon Beacons to help raise money to support the Alzheimer's Society.

There are currently so many calls on everyone's charity and generosity but we would be so grateful if you chose to donate to what the four of us regard as such a worthy cause. 

One day dementia will, fingers crossed, be defeated. This is our tiny part in helping that happen.

Thank you
