I'm taking part in Memory Walk 2015 in memory of my Dad, Peter Rigby. We are fundraising in aid of my Dad ywhohad Pick’s disease, a frontotemporal dementia which hits early on in life and is one of the less common forms of dementia.
My dad has missed my 18th and 21st, he has missed my graduation, getting my first house, getting married and has missed the birth of his first grandchild. We need to stop this disease before it ruins more lives.
Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that’s the equivalent to one person every three minutes. This September and October Memory Walks will be taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to raise money for a world without dementia. Arm in arm, step by step and pound by pound, we will get there. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to the Alzheimer's Society. So it’s the most efficient way to raise money – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Please dig deep and help us walk for a world without dementia.
