Story

I am going to be swimming 15 miles over 30 days for my amazing Nanna, who we lost last summer. She was the life and soul of the family and is so very missed.

In 2017 she was diagnosed with Alzheimers, she continued to live independently with the support of my mum (her daughter) . But with the uncertainty during COVID-19 my Nan moved in with us full time and stayed with us until she passed away in July 2022.

My mum was a full time carer for my Nan for two years. Caring for my Nan was made easier having access to local dementia group activities and telephone access to Alzheimers supporters for those worrying moments .

We have so many amazing memories of our Nanna, she was so full of life and loved all her grandchildren so much.

Anything you can donate would be so appreciated.
