I'm doing the 10km Memory Walk in memory of my Grandad who sadly passed away in March this year, the night before my 21st birthday, he had Dementia so this charity is very close to me. Him not knowing my name and sometimes who I am altogether was definitely difficult but, it was nothing compared to him no longer being here to talk about anything & everything and being darn right silly with.
I want to raise awareness and money for people who have suffered from Dementia , people who are currently suffering from Dementia, their loved ones and carers. I also want to raise money to help fund the continuing research of Dementia.
What can your money do?
£10 - pays for someone with dementia to enjoy a Singing for the Brain session, boosting their confidence and well-being.
£30 - allows a person with dementia to attend weekly Dementia Cafe sessions for a month where they can meet others, share experiences and feel less isolated.
£50 - funds the chemicals and consumables required for a PhD researcher to continue vital research into understanding the causes of dementia, how it can be treated and, ultimately, to find a cure.
Thank you so much for any donation you make, it means a lot to me!
You're the best! :-)
