Story

My Granda was always up for a laugh and carry on and his stories were the best. He got Diagnosed with Dementia a couple of years ago because he was getting forgetful and we had to keep telling him the same thing but he still had his great sense of humour. In the past year he got slightly worse but in the last 14-15 weeks he has got really bad, for the past 14 weeks me & my mum have travelled through from Bo’ness to Motherwell every Wednesday to get shopping and to sit talking to them in their garden to make sure they are ok. My Aunts & cousins are all checking in on him and my Gran and making sure they are ok constantly. My Granda doesn’t really understand anything now, when you speak to him he doesn’t really now what you are talking about and who you are but it doesn’t matter as long as we try spend time with him. A few weeks ago me & my mum stayed with him overnight he never said much but it was good just being with him watching old boxing matches eating domino’s pizza at midnight, last week we took him a walk we had to get him a wheelchair because he can’t walk far now but it was good. I want to do the Cycle for my Granda and to raise money to help everybody living with Dementia. It’s horrible.
