Thank you for taking the time to visit my page.

My wonderful Dad, Geoff...warm, loving, clever and very funny. A proud man, who has worked hard all his life for his family. Sadly, he is now losing his daily battle with Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular Dementia, which has taken the man we remember so fondly, leaving him lost, confused and living in fear. I would not wish anyone to go through what our family is going through now.

In the UK alone, there are an estimated 46.8 million people living with dementia and the numbers affected will double every 20 years, rising to 115.4 million in 2050.

There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease or any other type of dementia. Dementia research is desperately underfunded. There are not enough researchers and clinicians joining the fight against dementia. Five times fewer researchers choose to work on dementia than on cancer.

Alzheimer's Society is committed to spending at least £150 million over the next decade on dementia research to improve care for people today and find a cure for tomorrow. Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
