Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Page

There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, with numbers set to rise to over 1 million by 2025. This will soar to 2 million by 2051. 225,000 will develop dementia this year, that's one every three minutes. 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia.

In October 2014 I lost my mom, and then my dad passed away 15 weeks later. He had early stage dementia which became noticeably worse when mom died; he struggled to really understand she had gone and was totally lost without her. It was so hard seeing him become a shell of the man he once was.

There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's or dementia, but that doesn't mean there will never be one. 

On 9th May I will be facing my fear of heights and doing a tandem skydive in support of Alzheimer's Society. Any support would be greatfully received
