Story

Why? In a word “Margaret”!

Who? Our mum, my children´s & nephew's grandma, my dad’s wife, my aunt’s sister and much loved friend.

Mum has end stage Alzheimer´s. She is in a care home, sadly spending much of the last few years without visitors due to Covid, including her 80th Birthday. I have nothing but thanks and admiration for those who care for her and continue to do so.

During lockdown I decided I’d like an adventure or two! I also read the "Salt Path"... To adventure for dementia.
So …My husband and I are walking the whole of the SW coastal path during all of May and June this year - (and “yes” the kids did rather twist his arm to accompany me!).

I would like to raise some money for Alzheimer’s whilst we are walking in my mum’s name, “Margaret”. I would also like to support research so my children´s generation may not have to suffer my mother´s fate.

You can follow our progress on Facebook & Instagram search for paulas.mad.adventures or on our blog at  https://paulasmadadventure.wixsite.com/swcoastpathwalkblogAlthough being a social media novice this could be an interesting ride!

Please support us.

Thank you for reading my story, and a huge thank you for your support

PS I hope you like the glamorous compilation of photos of mum - Alzheimer's or not she'd kill me if she didn't look her best!
