Tesco charity of the year partnership · 28 February 2012 ·

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

It was hard watching her mind drift from this world to a place that was not accessible to anyone. Even more difficult to comprehend was the fact that she did not recognise&nbsp;me or that of her own children, which was especially difficult for my own mother. I hope my trek on Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest freestanding mountain in the world, will help me share my experiences with others who faced this challenging time and in doing so raise invaluable funds that will aid the precious work that the&nbsp;Alzheimer&rsquo;s Society do to assist others to receive the right care and support, and help towards funding vital research that could delay the onset of dementia. Through&nbsp;your generous support, together we can support Alzheimer&rsquo;s Society build a better future for suffers and their families.</span></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <font face="Times New Roman"> <p>&nbsp;</p> </font></span></span> <p>&nbsp;</p> </span></span> <p><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">So please dig deep and donate now!!!!</span></span></span></span></span></span></p> </span></span> <p><span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">&nbsp;</p> </p>
