Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For the past year and a half I have witnessed the effects of this illness on a family member and the family as a whole. It is a lot more common than people may think and is incredibly upsetting for the sufferer, and very stressful for those around them to manage. The Alzheimer's Society provide advice and support, but also pioneer research into the cause, cure and care of dementia.

I'm hoping this will raise not just money for the charity, but awareness among friends and those who donate, that this is an illness that many find very difficult to talk about and happens very much behind closed doors. The more we talk about it, the better we can prepare for it.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. 

Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you,

Simon
