Story

We are on a mission to raise awareness of Alzheimer's and Dementia, as well as to help raise money for the vital support services to help not only those afflicted by these cruel diseases but also their families, friends and loved ones.

How are we going to do this? Well, we're taking on the mammoth challenge of walking 62 miles from the Penderyn Distillery to The Captain's Table in Saundersfoot over the course of 48 hours.

We know, firsthand, the pain and sadness of seeing a close family member affected by Alzheimer's and Dementia and we're sure that we aren't alone.

We'd encourage anyone that can donate any amount, no matter how much, to do so and help raise valuable funds to this amazingly worthwhile charity that has a special place in our hearts.
