Walking the whole SW Coastal Path for Alzheimer's Society & Alzheimer's Research UK

Who? Our mum, my children´s & nephew's grandma, my dad’s wife, my aunt’s sister and much loved friend.

Mum has end stage Alzheimer´s. She is in a care home, sadly spending much of the last few years without visitors due to Covid, including her 80th Birthday. I have nothing but thanks and admiration for those who cared for her and continue to do so.

So …My husband and I are walking the the SW coastal path during all of May and June this year.

I would like to raise some money for Alzheimer’s whilst we are walking in my mum’s name, “Margaret”. Anecdotally Dementia/Alzheimer´s runs in my family. We have experienced first-hand the ravages of this disease, and the joys and moments of hilarity it can bring.

The Alzheimer’s Society was instrumental in helping my father cope with the onset of mum’s illness. I would also like to support the research so my children´s generation may not have to suffer my mother´s fate.

Although being a social media novice this could be an interesting ride!
