Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As a GP I regularly see and review patients with both newly diagnosed and established dementia. The effect of the diagnosis on both the patient and their family can be devastating. Getting to grips with dementia can be particularly daunting and initial support and advice is invaluable. I am always keen to identify organisations who can provide further help.

Arts 4 Dementia develop innovative arts programmes to re-energise and inspire people in the early stages of dementia; they signpost arts events nationwide for people with dementia in the community; and they provide early-stage dementia awareness training for arts facilitators. Arts 4 Dementia focus on what people CAN achieve.

I am running the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise awareness of this debilitating condition  and the fantastic support that Arts 4 Dementia can provide.
