Story

My uncle Michael, my cousin Shauna and I are doing a skydive in August for a charity very close to our hearts. Our Granny Anne (Michael's mum) suffers from Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer's is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. Granny Anne is a very well know woman around the Glens and further afield. She always loved getting out and about, talking to everyone in her path. At times it was hard to get away as she loved a good yarn but everyone loved her craic. This horrific disease has robbed Granny Anne of all the things she loved to do and has robbed our family of precious conversations with this special woman. We are very lucky that we have so many good memories as this disease has had a very quick impact on Granny Anne‘s life and has taken her away from her family far quick. Thanks for reading our story and we would be immensely grateful for any donations. 

Thanks, Orlagh.
