Story
Dealing with the loss of someone who is still there physically.
Alzheimer’s is the most common disease; it affects not only our loved ones, but ourselves, mentally and physically. It’s hard to think that before being diagnosed, there was so much character and personality, but by the end, all that remains is an empty shell.
My grandfather was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when I was young and I never realised what was actually happening to him. I have realised what a slow and unknowingly way to die it must have been. Slowly forgetting who you are, as if you are moving to another world, a blank canvas holding no information.
This year, I have finally plucked up the courage to book myself onto a tandem skydive to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society, today we still haven't found a cure for this terrible disease and my full intension for the funds collected is that they go towards research, so that one day in the near future we manage to find a cure.
Thank you for your kind donations.
