I am taking part in this event on 9th October, to raise awareness and much needed funds for this amazing charity which is a lifeline for families affected by dementia. I am walking for my Mum, who developed Alzheimer’s and now receives full time care in a nursing home. This cruel condition is responsible for taking people away from their loved ones, and robbing them of the last years of their lives. Please donate if you can, thank you, Andy.
Dementia is the UKs biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes, and currently there is no cure. We know it is scary facing up to it, but we must confront the biggest health & social care challenge of our time. After Covid-19, dementia was the leading cause of death in the UK in 2020. We owe it to the 900,000 people across the country currently living with dementia, and their families, to spearhead a campaign for change, whilst providing vital day-to-day support now. By taking part and raising sponsorship, or donating to someone who is, you are helping us do this.Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to Alzheimer's Society. It's the most efficient way to fundraise, saving time and cutting costs for charities. So, who do you walk for? #memorywalk
