Anything you can give, whether it is 1p, £1 or £10, is WORTH IT. Everything adds up and even the smallest amount means just as much as the largest amount. Your money goes DIRECTLY to the Alzheimers Society by donating through JustGiving.   

Hi, I'm Shannon.

In June, one of the loveliest, kindest people, I have ever met, passed away. She was called Mary and she had severe advanced Dementia.

I was Mary's carer for 6 months and, even though she couldn't form memories of me, she is a lady who I will never forget. She spent her last days making everyone smile around her. She came out with some great one-liners and would not stop expressing how thankful and grateful she was to have everyone who came to see her.

I was told, Mary would have said 'Why are you walking for me? Surely there's someone better you could raise money in memory of?' 

THAT is the exact reason why I am doing this.

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.
