Movember · 30 November 2023

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Our 3 boys’ Granda John O’Reilly passed away in 2018. John was living with dementia which saw a fit, busy & intelligent man deteriorate into someone whose memory went and he became dependent on others to help & look after him…..and his life changed dramatically.

This is a cruel illness, as much for the people watching this happen, as for the person themselves.

It is the 5 year anniversary of John’s passing so the boys wanted to raise money during “Movember” and also between now and when Lorcan runs the London marathon in April 2024. The money raised in memory of their Granda John will support those many people, work colleagues & friends who are dealing with dementia.

Alzheimer’s Society is trying to transform the landscape of dementia forever, and this will be the chosen charity.

If you can, please donate & thanks in anticipation.
