Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've been challenged by one of of colleagues to grow a beard, grow a beard???

So, I agreed to but only for charity.........

I know I'm not climbing a mountain or running a marathon but being clean shaven for over 54 years this will be a personal challenge and a little bit of fun on the way by raising money for Dementia UK, Wolseley Colleagues nominated charity.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain.

Each type of dementia stops a person’s brain cells (neurones) working properly in specific areas, affecting their ability to remember, think and speak.

Doctors typically use the word ‘‘dementia’’ to describe common symptoms – such as memory loss, confusion, and problems with speech and understanding – that get worse over time.

Dementia can affect a person at any age but it’s more common in people over the age of 65.

By 2025, it’s estimated that over one million people in the UK will have a diagnosis of dementia – and almost all of us will know someone living with the condition.

Any donation to help me to achieve my target will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mark
