Story
Dementia is the UKs biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and currently there is no cure. We know it is scary but we must confront the biggest health & social care challenge of our time. We owe it to the 900,000 people across the UK currently living with dementia to campaign for change, whilst providing vital day-to-day support. By taking part and raising money, or donating to someone who is, you are helping to do this.Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to Alzheimer's Society you dont need to do anything and it's the most efficient way to fundraise. So, who will you walk for? #MemoryWalk.
I am walking for my wife of 54 years Veronica. Too late for any cure to help us, but perhaps I can help someone else and that would make it worthwhile.It is almost impossible to describe the feeling of desolation, anger and fear as the one you love effectively disappears before your eyes,. Quite suddenly the ability to count or tell the time or write clearly is no more. And then the questions start, Who are You ? What are you doing here ? Where am I ? I simply would not wish this on anyone
