I am planning to walk the Great Wall of China to raise funds for Alzheimer's Scotland so that when another family have to go through what my family are going through, then the support can be there.
My dad has had this illness for the last 4 years and it has been the toughest time not only for my dad, who has went from an outgoing, independent man who worked all his life, done anything for anyone and is now in a care home as the condition has got that bad that he struggles to speak, feed himself and needs basically 24hr care, but for our whole family who have had to witness this terrible disease take away the man we love (DAD, HUSBAND, GRANDAD+GREAT GRANDAD).
There are many obstacles we have had to deal with as if the illness isn't bad enough, knowing that my dad couldn't get into certain care homes because the GOVERNMENT say you need to be 65yrs old to be a priority for places. So you are not allowed to get illnesses before that age people so be warned!!!!! But if you do then you will be limited in where you can get help unless you are extremely wealthy.
My dad is going to die from this horrible illness in the future so I want to do something in his name. So this is what I have chose to do. I would be so grateful to everyone if you could sponsor me and raise as much money as possible to fight this terrible disease.
Thank you
