On the 27th April I am taking part in the Kiltwalk's Mighty Stride, 23 miles, starting in Glasgow Green ending in Balloch, Loch Lomond. Why you may ask, well as many of you know, my mum, Alice Robertson has advanced dementia, a horrible disease which has robbed her of many happy years with her grandchildren, her daughters and her family and friends. Loving someone with dementia is like grieving for that person over and over, watching them slip away from you, the longest goodbye.

I appreciate all of your donations which will go directly to Alzheimer Scotland to help fund vital dementia research and continue to ensure no one faces dementia alone.
