Story
This year I have set myself some new challenges and I am wanting to raise money whilst doing it for a very worthy cause
The Challenge -
*19th March - forest of dean half marathon
*4th June - Snowdon trek (unfortunately I don’t think I could run this but a quick walk is probably more realistic)
*1st July - Bath colour run 5k
*19th Aug - tough mudder 5 miles
*10th Sep - Cheddar Gorge half marathon
The Motivation - Dementia UK
Because ...
Living with dementia can be an incredibly hard and lonely experience for both the person with dementia and their family. Although some symptoms are common to many people with dementia, each person's experience of the disease and how they cope with it will be different. The various symptoms and difficulties experienced by someone suffering from dementia can include memory loss, mental agility, language, understanding and judgement. Because the disease is so varied, when supporting and looking after a friend or family member who has dementia, it may be difficult to stay positive; or to remember that you are not alone
Dementia UK aim to 'provide the compassionate, expert support families need every step of the way – helping everyone in that family to live more positively with dementia in the present; and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear'. The knowledge that you are not alone and that there is help out there is so important for anyone living with this life altering disease.
Any donations would be so much appreciated
