In memory of Charlie Coxon
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Charlie was my partners grandad. He fought bravely against Alzheimer's for over 7 years. He was diagnosed just before I had the pleasure off meeting him,  (He taught me how to wash dishes properly.) but he quickly became someone I regarded as I friend. A friend who I admired, respected and loved. His devotion to his wife and family was truly inspirational.

Now that he has passed, I feel I have a better understanding off his battle, because now we are left with only our memories. These memories bring a smile on my face, a glow in my heart, yet a tear on my cheek. I guess the importance of memory and memories has been brought to the forefront of my mind.

If in raising money by doing the "memory walk" , I can in some small way, contribute to the understanding of Alzheimer's, and I'm able to do that whilst remembering that cheeky chappy, adored by so many, then I am happy to take that opportunity.

I am priveledged and proud to say Charlie Coxon was part of my life and family.

Please, just give what you can.

Thank you.
