Story

I'm running the London Landmarks Half Marathon for Dementia UK. Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Although my family and I have never had first hand experience with Admiral Nurses, we have had first hand experience with Dementia. 

In November 2021, I lost my wonderful grandmother. I am doing this in memory of and for her. I can’t put into words what she meant to me but I miss her dearly. 

I have seen how dementia can affect an individual and therefore a family. An Admiral Nurse shares their expertise, gives their support and provides life-changing care to those who need it. Working in domiciliary care, I truly understand how important it is to acknowledge the challenges dementia can bring. It has highlighted just how much extra time and care it takes to look after a loved one and the relief it can bring to a family to have the proper support structure in place. 

Please help me support their amazing work. When you support Dementia UK, you're helping grow the number of specialist dementia nurses. With your help, no one will have to face dementia alone.
