Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page in Memory of our late Mum - 

Veronica Joan Millham.

Mum was mis diagnosed in 2015 with Parkinson's, Lewy Body symptoms began to surface and she was diagnosed in 2017 as a sufferer. Little is known in the UK about this illness, treatment and support.

Luckily we were supported in the last year by Rachel Thompson

By raising money for this society will allow more nurses to be trained and assigned to the illness, which will offer support to families in need

The one and only admiral nurse whom is assigned to the Lewy Body Society - her support knowledge and phone calls helped us keep mums care on track at times of need and downturn with her health.

Lewy Body is a very cruel illness much worse for the sufferer than Alzheimer's as the suffer never looses cognitive memory - mum was always aware of us her family until her last days of the journey. However many years she had suffered huge anxiety attacks leading to agitation due to the brain neurons fusing out causing confusing state of memory feeling lost worried about being left alone the police coming and always where her handbag was. Her daily routine was to keep her calm, worry free to maintain a healthy life with care whilst being a sufferer of this illness. We managed to do this for 6 years, she succumbed to COVID and this left her reservers depleted we sadly lost her 1/9/21 - 12;22pm at home with me and my sister, she is sadly missed and fondly remembered she was strong to the end of her journey.
