Alzheimer's Society - Ben Nevis Challenge · 18 May 2012 ·

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Hello,

When I have told people that I am doing this challenge some said 'you're mad!' Ha! I'm mad?! The sad thing is that people with dementia are still treated as 'mad' and some left to cope on their own.Some dementia sufferers in the later stages forget how to walk and eat so i feel greatful  that I have the choice to do this challenge.I have seen so many people suffer with this cruel disease in my working day as an activities co-ordinator in a care home,some in their early 60's! For me it is important to help raise money to be used to make their lives more fulfilled and easier to manage,to have company and to help stimulate their minds.If you could make any donation I would be very greatful.Thankyou for your time.Elsa
