On 20th May 2018 I will be taking part in the Great Manchester Run 10k on behalf of tide.

tide, ‘together in dementia everyday’, is a UK wide involvement network of carers, former carers and health and care professionals who are working together to build a better future for carers of people living with dementia. Hosted by Life Story Network CIC, our team is made up of a group of former carers of people with dementia who are passionate about improving the lives of carers and those they care for across the UK.

We’re determined to change the way carers are recognised, valued and treated. We believe that services and support for carers of people with dementia are a fundamental and necessary human right. It is our mission to ensure that the needs of these carers are recognised and valued by absolutely everyone in the UK: politicians, the health and social care system, the educational system, employers, the media and the general population.
