Story
Welcome to this JustGiving page, sit back, open your wallet, click donate! Read this first if you fancy....
Two years ago I didn't have a clue what FTD was and I certainly did not why or how it would affect the life's of those I love and treasure so dearly.
Well its there, its real, its happening.
You can listen, be there, be cried on, shouted at, shout back, be confused, more confused, try to understand, not understand, still not understand, be there. That's the key, be there!
The national brain appeal is there, you don't know it until you need too, but it's there. It exists for a purpose, it can't give answers or solve the problem, but it helps. You have no idea how much it helps until you are in need. I can merely speak as a stander by, a loving partner, friend, family.
From group and family support to individual counselling rare dementia support offers help, reassurance and advice.
I recognise the benefit in group and family support sessions, likewise I am inspired by the extraordinary medical research and trails happening at present by dedicated research teams. These two aspects are critical to the well being of those affected by rare dementia and those that never had a clue until it hit them. This is why I will be splitting my donations equally among these two channels. FTD research and rare dementia support.
If you've read this far well done...... Just press donate and be a legend!
Peace out, love you lots
