Me and my best friend are taking part in a charity skydive to raise awareness for dementia on the 22nd September 2018. This is close to me and my family as my grandma has been suffering from dementia for the last 12 years. I would really like to raise money and awareness for this cause.
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.
