So despite not picking up a skipping rope since school! This November, I'm completing 100 skips each day and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support. Your donation, big or small, makes a difference.

I thank you so much for your help as this horrible disease affects so many of us and it is truly heart breaking to see when it does. As you know it is not just to the person, but the family and friends who sadly are affected to!

Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline.

£33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you once again for your support xxx God bless and sweet dreams to my Nanny Kit and Nanny Ivy xxx
