Raising money for Dementia UK

Join Team Dementia UK in the Action Challenge Ultra Series 2025! We are challenging ourselves for more dementia specialist Admiral Nurses who provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.

Story

As you may or may not know, our amazing Dad/Grandad was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia in September 2016. Since then, my Nan has done an incredible job of looking after him at home as the disease continues to progress and take away little bits of the Grandad we once knew!

Having recently moved into a nursing home, as his dementia has rapidly progressed, Mum and I wanted to do something to support those and their families living with this awful disease. We would like to support the research so hopefully less people and their loved ones have to watch the deteriation that occurs as dementia takes away every little bit of them. We still love our Dad/Grandad so very much and we know just how crazy he would think we are for walking a marathon. However, we also know just how proud he would be too, he just cannot tell us anymore unfortunately! Here’s to finding a cure for this awful disease one day!
