Story

Hi! I'm taking on a Kiltwalk to raise funds for a charity close to my heart - Playlist for Life - who has inspired me to give something back. There are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK. This figure will rise to 1m by 2025 and 2m+ by 2050. There is no cure, but research has shown that ‘personal music’ – the specific tunes attached to someone’s emotions and that spark memories – can help those living with the condition by alleviating stress, managing symptoms, and reconnecting relationships with family members and carers. It can even reduce the use of medication – by as much as 60% in some people. Playlist for Life’s vision is simple: they want everyone with dementia to have a unique, personal playlist and everyone who loves or cares for them to know how to use it. Every penny I raise will be topped up by 50% thanks to the generosity of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation. Any donation you can spare will mean the world to me and my chosen charity. Thank you!
