Story

"He was a father who was always there, always helping and giving guidance. Dad was always at peace with himself, until Alzheimer's came along."

Every 3 minutes, dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is our only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia. Gresham’s father, Brian Blake, was one of those whose story was tragically cut short by this devastating disease. Watching his decline was heart-wrenching, as he lost coordination, speech, and ultimately, the ability to express his feelings. His rare moments of clarity, when he would ask, "remind me why I’m here," are etched in our hearts.

We are proud to support Alzheimer's Research UK, the nation's leading dementia research charity. They exist for one reason: to find a cure. Your donation helps their dedicated scientists and researchers discover new ways to diagnose dementia, develop effective treatments, and ultimately, find a cure.

Together, we can change the narrative for millions of families. Please consider donating today to help end the pain caused by dementia and to honor the memory of those like Brian.
