I recently visited the Alzheimer's Society in my constituency and I witnessed the tremendous work that they do.

Thanks to universal healthcare people are living longer. Sadly many of us will develop dementia as we get older. Most of us know someone with Alzheimer's or dementia, be they a neighbour, friend or relative.

I have decided to support the incredible work that the Alzheimer's Society does to help people and their loved ones cope with dementia by holding a fundraising swim at the London Aquatics Centre on 3rd April at 11:00am. 

The event will consist of two races: a school relay swim and a thirty minute endurance relay, in which I will be captaining a team.

Please dig deep and sponsor my team and the others for this fantastic cause.
