Fundraising for Dementia UK
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
