June’s Wish was created in honour of June Minter, a woman who faced Lewy body dementia with quiet courage and a heart full of love. In her final years, June was supported by her devoted husband of 60 years, Mick, and her daughters Jules and Sue—a family bound by joy, resilience and countless shared adventures.

As June’s dementia progressed, her world became smaller, but her spirit never dimmed. One of her final wishes was unexpectedly simple yet profoundly meaningful: she wanted to take one more flight. So Jules chartered a plan and for that hour in the sky, dementia loosened its hold. June lit up with awe and laughter—present, peaceful, herself again.

A short time later, with the support of Admiral Nurse Lucy, June’s final wish came true. She returned home, surrounded by the warmth of Christmas lights and the love of her family. She passed away peacefully on Valentine’s Day 2025, leaving behind a heartbroken family—but also a legacy of courage, joy and connection.

Sadly, Mick died of vascular dementia in August 2025 and joined his beloved June.
