On the 17th October 2017 our beautiful nanny Tessie passed away having suffered for years from this horrible disease. She was a very kind and generous woman, always the first to offer when anyone was in need regardless of whether it was a family member or a stranger, always a smile and a hello for whoever passed her by. Having experienced first hand her love and compassion my cousins and I have decided to run in the Belfast city marathon in her memory and for Dementia NI in the hope that we can give back a little of the kindness that she so selflessly give to others.  Any donations made will be gratefully appreciated.

Thank you x
