Some of you will know that my mother, Violet Harding died of Alzheimer's Disease in July 2010.

I read about the Newport Memory Walk and wanted to take part as a way of helping those suffering from the illness. The walk took place on 12th September in Beechwood Park, Newport.  On the left of this page is a short video and some photos that we shot on the day of the event. 

I'm keeping the JustGiving page open so that money can be donated to the charity even after the fundraising walk took place.  

I'd be very grateful for donations of any size of course because every pound helps. These are examples of ways in which the combined donations would be used:

£35 could support a person with dementia to receive a one hour befriending session with a volunteer, providing them with companionship and social support.

£50 could support five people with dementia to attend a one hour session at a Dementia Cafe, receiving information and support in a friendly and informal setting.

£104 could allow callers from anywhere in the country to call the national Alzheimer's Society Dementia Helpline each week at their local rate.

£200 could help run one session of Singing for the Brain, an Alzheimer's Society activity that enables people with dementia and their carers to engage in the benefits and enjoyment of structured community singing.

Please take a moment to read the following information about the disease and JustGiving.

Thanks.

Matthew.
