Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Our dad  was  diagnosed  with Supranuclear Palsy in 2017. He had been living at home until things became too hard for him and we made the difficult choice that he needed 24hr nursing care.

Unfortunately in October that year we lost the best dad and grandad anyone could have and it has been really tough him not being there for me, my brother , sister and grand kids.

Anyone who knows me will not be surprised when I said I was going to raise money for Dementia UK that my challenge would be a "silly" walk of some kind. So starting on the 25th May I will be walking the Anglesey Coastal path (140 miles) in 8 days as we have many fond memories from there with it being the place my mum was evacuated to during the war and having many a happy holiday when we were younger.

Dementia isn't just being a little bit forgetful or a natural part of getting older.  There  is  nothing  funny  about  dementia  -  it  is  a  horrible  disease  that  is  stealing  people from their loved ones on a daily basis..

Even  if  people  can't  donate  I  hope  to  raise  more  awareness  about  dementia  so  that  the  next  time  you  are  in  the  street  and  see  someone  looking  confused,  or  are  at  a  till  in  the  shop  and  the  person  in  front  is  slow,  or  someone  says  something  strange  to  you  that  doesn't  quite  make  sense  -  please  think  twice  about  being  mean  or  making  cruel  comments -  show  a  bit  of  understanding  -  ask  if  you  can  help.

Thank you.
