So...

I have recently been diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease and to be honest it wasn’t the best day in my life when I was told.

So... what next? Well, I have been prescribed medication to help slow down the effects of the disease and I should have at least 20 years with not too many problems.

So... It's not like I've got cancer, is it? No, Alzheimer's Disease is incurable!

So... I'm a proactive kind of guy. If I can't find much help so other people must be in the same boat, So... why don't we get together talk, swap stories, ideas and help each other, but more importantly help our partner/carers who although don't have the disease are just as helpless as us.

So... my idea is to start up coffee mornings to begin with, locally and then further afield, to get both Alzheimer sufferers of all stages and their partner/carers, to meet up and talk with each other. Be it just for respite or to help pass on information and helpful ideas to others. Also, I want to make available any technology that helps to make life a s near as normal as possible. Whether that is looking at new ideas or helping with costs of existing technology for people to buy.

So… to do this and hopefully more in the future I am starting a charity and it is going to be called
